Take Me to the River All-Stars brings together an all-star lineup of Memphis music royalty, featuring the Queen of Memphis Soul Carla Thomas, the iconic Hi Rhythm Section—the band behind Al Green’s biggest hits—joined by powerhouse vocalist Jerome Chism.

Also taking the stage are GRAMMY winners Boo Mitchell (son of legendary producer Willie Mitchell) and Martin Shore, ensuring a night filled with timeless grooves and pure Southern soul.

From the deep, unmistakable basslines of Hi Rhythm to Carla Thomas’ soaring vocals, this show captures the heart and soul of Memphis music. Expect a setlist packed with classics, from Stax-era anthems to Hi Records’ deep cuts—all played by the musicians who helped shape them.
