Music & Rhythms of the South

  • 13 days

If you’re looking to get into a Southern frame of mind there’s only one way to do it, and that’s through the music. Following the roots of Country, Blues and Jazz, you’ll set off from Atlanta, Georgia, on a musical odyssey packed full of surprises. This rhythmical road trip heads north to Nashville before following the Mississippi south to Memphis and New Orleans. It’s a chance to live life on the road as you keep the radio locked to your favourite station and stop for Creole and Cajun cuisine along the way. Alongside Dollywood, Graceland, and the Grand Ole Opry, you’re never far from a live music venue. And when you finally enter the Big Easy, best advice is to become one with the river and just go with the flow. This is the most affordable way to experience the Southern states without having to stick to anybody else’s schedule. It’s the trip you always wanted to take, and there’s no better place to start than right here.
