Historic RCA Studio B, once the recording home for legends like Chet Atkins, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley and Charley Pride, is celebrating its 60th anniversary from Aug. 17 through Oct. 29 with a slate of special surprise performances during random public tours and unique after-hours programming.
After-hours programming planned to commemorate the anniversary will include two panel discussions. Elvis Presley recorded more than two hundred songs at RCA Studio B, including “Stuck on You,” “Little Sister,” “Good Luck Charm,” “Guitar Man,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” and many of his gospel classics. The King at B: Top Musicians Remember Elvis, is set for Thursday, Aug. 31, at 7:30 p.m. with musicians David Briggs, James Burton, Charlie McCoy and Norbert Putnam discussing their extensive work with Presley at the historic studio.
Hit-Makers Reflect on Historic RCA Studio B takes place Thursday, Sept. 21, at 7:30 p.m. and Bobby Bare, Dave Cobb, Lloyd Green and Connie Smith will share their perspectives on working at the Home of 1,000 Hits. A studio tour will be offered 30 minutes before each program. Tickets for both programs are on sale now and can be purchased here for $25.
To help celebrate the amazing legacy of the studio, surprise performances from contemporary artists who have been influenced by Studio B recording legends will occur during random public tours of the studio between Aug. 17 and Oct. 29.
