PREMIUM EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS TRACE THE MUSICAL ROOTS OF THE DELTA

The Mississippi Delta is known for two things— farming and the delta blues. As the richest cotton-growing region in the country, the lands of the delta were worked mostly by slave labor, and then African American tenant farmers and sharecroppers. It was the work and religious songs that were sung in the fields that laid the foundation for R&B, Rock ‘n’ roll, soul, modern country music, and of course, the blues.

SWAY TO THE MUSIC AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM

American music was born in Mississippi, that’s why the modest town of Cleveland, Mississippi, is home to the state-of-the-art Grammy Museum. Here, you will enjoy the informative “Why Mississippi” presentation. On a selfguided tour through the museum, uncover the connections between many legendary performers through more than two dozen cutting edge exhibits that explore the best music from many genres.
