The Best Live Music Venues in Memphis, TN

by Bogie May 7, 2022

Memphis is a city synonymous with music. Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll and is also the home of blues and soul. Many influential music icons got their starts in Memphis, including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Aretha Franklin.

Memphis is also the home of Beale Street, which is a significant location in the history of blues music and is now a national historic landmark. There are many other attractions in Memphis related to music as well. If you are planning a visit or a move to Memphis and want to take in some amazing live music, check out these venues:

Beale Street

Beale Street is historically known for its blues music, but it is still the epicenter for live music in Memphis. You can still head down to Beale Street if you want a night of amazing blues and soul music.

If you are looking to enjoy some live music on Beale Street, there are plenty of venues to choose from. Some of the best include B.B. King’s Blues Club (the hub of the Beale Street music scene), Rum Boogie Cafe, SugaShack, and FedExForum, which is Memphis’s major concert venue.

Downtown Memphis

In addition to Beale Street, there are some other great choices for music venues in downtown Memphis. One great option downtown is the Orpheum Theater, which hosts some amazing musical acts. If you are looking for something smaller and more intimate, head next door to Halloran Centre, which hosts touring artists as well as featuring local singers, musicians, and bands.

Other venues in Downtown Memphis include South Main Sounds and the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts. If you want to be close to downtown and the heart of music in the city, be on the lookout for Memphis houses for sale in the area. 

Midtown Memphis

A few miles east of downtown, you will find even more outstanding live music venues in Midtown Memphis. For a change of pace, check out the Zebra Lounge and enjoy a piano-bar. If you want to enjoy another piece of history, check out the daily acts at the legendary Lafayette’s Music Room. If you want to check out even more local acts, head to Bar DKDC.

Other stand-out locales for live music in Midtown include B-Side, The Cove, and Growlers. There are so many choices when it comes to music in Midtown, you will need to plan a few months’ worth of weekends to get to every great live music venue.

While Beale Street is clearly the heart of the live music scene in Memphis, there are also dozens of amazing venues to check out in Downtown, Midtown, and beyond. These are a few great options to get you started. From legendary venues to intimate clubs to piano bars and more, there is something in Memphis for every music-lover. And if you do love music, you have certainly chosen a great city to visit or move to in Memphis.

“Mother knows best” is more than just a saying. From your best friends, to your favorite food, to your hobbies and even your favorite celebrities – your mom knows them all. They may not be the most in touch with current trends or technology, but when it comes to their children, mothers have proven time and again that they surely know best.

This is true for nutrition as well. Because of the pandemic, moms had to wear different hats these past few months – educator, cook, and even amateur nutritionist. And while providing proper nutrition remains a top priority for them, it has become more of a struggle for many moms recently, which is why Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink launched its “Super Sulit Pack” to help make nutrition more affordable amidst the pandemic.

During the virtual launch event for Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink “Super Sulit Pack,” celebrity mom Rica Peralejo shared her concerns and personal experiences in providing nourishment to her children.

“The pandemic has made it harder to plan meals for the family. It’s difficult because your movements are limited and you can’t go out freely to buy groceries personally and think of nutritious food pairings that your kids will like,” Rica said.

“It takes a whole lot of creativity to actually make nutritious foods appetizing to kids,” she answered when asked about how she changed her children’s eating habits. “It’s all about variety at the end of the day. Children want to taste and experience different things, which is challenging for moms. Before, we could go out and eat at places that offer a variety of nutritious foods, but now you have to do it yourself at home…You have to consider things like plating, the set-up of your dining area, just so it would be a different kind of experience from day-to-day.”

Rica also shared her experience in encouraging her children to drink milk. “Actually, milk is one of the easiest things to give to our kids…Sometimes it’s overwhelming for moms to think about what nutrients we can add to our children’s diets, so thankfully we already have milk drinks with the additional nutrients that our kids need. Milk is honestly a godsend for me and for moms because of its affordability, nutrition value, and of course, its kid-approved taste,” she said.

Nutritionist and dietitian, Reginna Emiliene Lat, RND, also joined the virtual launch event to share her experiences in providing nutritional advice to low-income families, which became even more challenging during the pandemic.

“Families are experiencing job loss during the pandemic, with some not having sufficient income to provide proper nutrition for their children,” she mentioned. “But despite these challenges, moms are not ones to compromise on health and are devoted to ensuring that their children get the nutrition they need.”

“So with a few tweaks to their diet like adding fruits and vegetables to their food to ensure balance and variety to their meals, and including nutritional supplements and nutrient-dense drinks, they can make sure that their family can get the nutrients they need while staying within their budget,” Reginna said.

While children are still in their early stages of development, proper nutrition is essential in keeping them healthy and building the foundation for their future. Which is why Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink remains committed to nourishing Filipino families and helping children grow with “Lakas at Talas.”

Containing protein, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin D for “Lakas” (strength) which helps with body development, and choline, iron and iodine for “Talas” (sharpness) which helps with brain development, Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink is a delicious drink that kids can enjoy every morning, paired with a healthy and balanced breakfast.

Moms and media attendees share a toast of Alaska Fortified Milk to show their commitment to affordable nutrition

“We know that Filipino moms are faced with the challenge of providing nutrition for their families within their limited budget. They have a lot of things to consider and prioritize, and they make these decisions every day. True to Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink’s mission and purpose of bringing affordable nutrition to Filipinos, we are here to answer to every Filipino mom’s need with our most affordable milk pack yet – the 300g ‘Super Sulit Pack’ for only PHP 70 – to help give their children the added nutrients they need and foster the ‘alaga’ they deserve,” said Mark Henry Camacho, Brand Manager of Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink.

Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink 300g “Super Sulit Pack” is now available until December 2021 in Shopee, Lazada, leading supermarkets, grocery stores nationwide. For more information on Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk Drink, visit www.alaskamilk.com and www.facebook.com/alaskamilkph.

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING: A Gift Giving Event

by Bogie December 27, 2020

Every year the school I am working at is having a gift giving event. We name the activity “Blessed to be a Blessing”. It is actually an activity where we teach our students about GENEROSITY. 

One of the best expressions of Generosity is “sharing what I have with others.” For this activity, we let our students prepare gifts placed in a big shoe box and allow them to place all the items that they wanted to give to the less fortunate kids in our city. Gift items include toiletries, toys, school supplies and letters of encouragement. 

For this year, the gift giving event is a bit different. Instead of gathering the gifts in school, we went from house to house to collect the gifts of our students. We have gathered around 63 gifts (almost half of the usual gifts we are preparing every year) in all. As for the distribution of gifts to the recipient, it was also different this year. We gathered the kids per batch to observe COVID-19 health protocols. Younger kids were not anymore allowed to come, instead their family representatives were the ones who claimed their gifts. 

As for our school, the COVID-19 pandemic might be one of the biggest challenges we faced this year. However, it didn’t stop us to pursue this yearly event. Gifts may be a bit few this year but despite the challenges we are thankful for the opportunity to still be a blessing given the limited resources we have. 

You are Blessed to be a Blessing

One of the best lessons I have learned about this yearly gift giving activity is that we are all BLESSED in so many ways. Sometimes it’s hard to think we are blessed because we have the wrong idea of what a blessed person is. It is easy for us to say we are blessed if things are going well in our lives. And it is easy for us to become bitter in life if things aren’t going well. However, let us not forget to count our blessings even in the midst of problems, trials and most of all in the midst of this pandemic. 

Your blessings are not just for you, they are to be used to bless others. Would you like to be part of this gift giving event next year? Let me know by leaving a comment. 

Check out the video of our Gift Giving activity this year.
