Million Dollar Quartet
Firehouse Center for the Arts Market Square, Newburyport, MA, United StatesA Tuesday night, shortly before Christmas 1956, four legends, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley gathered at the Sun Record recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee, where they’d launched their careers.

This was their only performance, a cultural flashpoint that caught rock ‘n’ roll at the moment of creation.
