The Rhythm of ‘Take Me to the River’

The Melody of Our Mission

‘Take Me to the River’ is not just a project; it’s a heartfelt journey into the soul of American music. Born from a desire to celebrate and preserve the rich musical legacies of Memphis and New Orleans, our initiative has grown into a movement that documents, educates, and showcases the profound cultural impact of these musical havens.

From Vision to Vibrant Reality

“The journey of ‘Take Me to the River’ began with a simple idea: to capture the essence of the music that defined Memphis and New Orleans. What started as a series of documentaries evolved into a comprehensive project encompassing films, music productions, educational programs, and live tours. Our mission has always been to keep the river of music flowing for future generations.”
