Come see the story of how Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley played at Sun Records’ storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time.

We are working with our friends at Allied Live to launch another poster distribution in Chicago.  We’ve been promoting MDQ since it first began two years ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the shows success. With performances scheduled through September, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t see it!
