Description

On their next musical adventure, Mama and Papa Poss cruise up the Mississippi River aboard the Delta Queen to Memphis, the birthplace of rock “n” roll.

As it turns out, the king himself, Elvis Harepiece, has enlisted the marsupial musicians to compose his next hit. Follow the duo as they stroll down the legendary Beale Street and make their way to Graceland for a memorable encounter that will pave their way to glory!

?Sunny Days in a Memphis Studio!” is the third story in the “We—re a Possum Family Band” series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock “n” roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music. At the end of each story, explanatory notes delve into the key figures, instruments and customs behind each genre, along with a QR code to access the accompanying recordings.
