Memphis: My Honest Take

Memphis left me with mixed feelings. There is no denying the city has an incredibly rich music history and some genuinely iconic attractions. Between Sun Studio, Graceland, Beale Street and its deep blues roots, there is plenty of cultural significance and history to explore.

That said, outside of those key experiences, I personally felt Memphis lacked some of the vibrancy and polish of Nashville. Certain areas felt a little gritty and rough around the edges and, particularly at night, it felt like a destination where you needed to keep your wits about you and be aware of your surroundings. Once you found the right venue and live music, Beale Street came alive, but getting that balance right sometimes took a little searching.

I’m very glad I experienced Memphis again, but it did leave me wondering what the city offers beyond its music history. It feels like a destination that leans heavily on its Elvis and musical heritage, and while those attractions are absolutely worthwhile, if I had extra time in Tennessee, Nashville would still comfortably take top spot for me.

👢Boots On the Ground in Nashville👢

The morning included visits past several Tennessee state monuments and parks, along with a stop at Marathon Village, a unique shopping and dining precinct housed inside a former automobile factory dating back to the early 1900s. Lots of quirky local stores and hidden gems to explore.

We also visited Nashville’s full-scale replica of The Parthenon, originally built for Tennessee’s 1897 Centennial Exposition. Seeing a replica of an ancient Greek landmark sitting in the middle of Tennessee is not something you expect.

Next stop was the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which was much larger than expected and packed with incredible memorabilia, costumes, instruments, and exhibits (including a small but interesting Dolly Parton exhibit) covering decades of country music history. Even non-country fans would find plenty to appreciate.

Lunch was naturally at a honky-tonk bar downtown, and our group chose Category 10 — Luke Combs’ venue on Broadway. Great atmosphere, live music, line dancing, and genuinely good food. Broadway itself is absolute sensory overload in the best possible way: neon signs, live bands pouring out of every doorway, rooftop bars, and party vibes from midday onwards.

We finished the night with a visit to the legendary Grand Ole Opry for a live radio show, which came with a very unexpected bonus appearance from Garth Brooks. He was there to present fellow Opry member Steve Wariner with a special award celebrating his 30-year Opry anniversary. Sadly there was no impromptu performance from Garth, but just seeing him in person was still a huge highlight for everyone.

Dragged myself out of bed this morning for a tour of RCA Studio B on Nashville’s famous Music Row and it was hands down the highlight of the trip so far.
Known as the “Home of 1,000 Hits,” Studio B is where legends including Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, and the Everly Brothers recorded some of country music’s most iconic songs. Walking through the studio and hearing the stories behind the recordings was fascinating, even for those who aren’t die-hard country fans. You could almost feel the musical history in the room.

This was followed by a guided tour of the beautiful Ryman Auditorium, often referred to as the “Mother Church of Country Music.” Originally built as a church in the 1890s, the venue has incredible acoustics and so much history attached to it. Definitely one of those places that feels special the moment you walk inside.

Tonight we headed back to Broadway for an evening of dancing, cocktails, live music, and general Nashville chaos. There may or may not have been dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly Saloon. 🕺🕺🕺

Nashville Notes 🎸

Known as “Music City,” Nashville is packed with musical history, southern charm, and more cowboy boots 👢 than should reasonably exist in one location.

Nashville is a fantastic city and after two visits now, it may actually be my favourite US city. It has a vibrant energy without feeling overwhelming, and there’s a friendliness and warmth to the city that makes it very easy to enjoy. The downtown area is relatively compact and walkable, making it easy for visitors to navigate without constantly relying on transport.

There’s an atmosphere in Nashville that is hard to explain until you experience it. Live music spills out of almost every venue on Broadway from early in the day until late at night, creating a constant buzz throughout the city. Whether you enjoy country music or not, there is an energy and fun factor that is infectious.

What I particularly liked was the balance Nashville offers. Visitors can immerse themselves in music history at places like Ryman Auditorium and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, enjoy great food and nightlife, or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere. It felt cleaner, safer and more polished than Memphis and overall had a more welcoming feel. Given the choice, I would happily spend extra nights here and could easily recommend it to a wide range of clients.

One interesting fact we learned during the day: flooding is actually the most widespread and frequent natural hazard in Tennessee; something that oddly felt very familiar coming from the Clarence Valley.

Flying courtesy of United Airlines
Sydney to San Francisco, followed by San Francisco to Nashville.

Boarding in Sydney was a little chaotic thanks to departing from Gate 26; the infamous remote gate that involves being bussed out to the aircraft. Apparently all airlines are required to rotate through Gate 26 at least once a year.

Once onboard though, things improved dramatically. The seats were spacious and comfortable, and we lucked out with a spare seat between us in a row of three.

The crew, many of whom were older and wonderfully experienced, provided excellent service throughout the flight. Before departure they even walked through offering passengers the option to spread out into spare seats where available. Small gesture, big impact.

Lunch was served about an hour after takeoff and was genuinely impressive for economy class. The tray size was slightly smaller than usual which actually made eating easier and less cramped on the tray table.

Cabin crew were efficient clearing trays and later returned with small bottles of water. Wi-Fi was available for purchase, while messaging apps like WhatsApp and Messenger were complimentary.

The first sector clocked in at around 13.5 hours, followed by another 3.5 hours into Tennessee. A marathon effort, even for seasoned travellers.
Overall, service and comfort were excellent.

Arrival into San Francisco International Airport brought an unexpected surprise. Thanks to a trial program introduced in late 2025, we did not need to collect and recheck luggage in San Francisco for the domestic connection, a massive improvement for transiting passengers.
