RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee

You can explore Elvis' home at Graceland, you can hold the microphone he used at Sun Studio in Memphis, and at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee you can sit at the piano where he recorded some of his biggest hits. In fact, Elvis Presley recorded over 200 songs here.

RCA Studio B is one of those humble spaces where incredible things happened. It wasn't just Elvis either - Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson, Charley Pride, Hank Snow, the Everly Brothers, and numerous other big names recorded music here since Studio B opened in the late 1950s.

Today you can visit RCA Studio B in Nashville by booking a tour through the Country Music Hall of Fame. One of the absolute highlights, time permitting, is sitting in the studio as the lights are dimmed and listening as a raw recording of Elvis singing Are You Lonesome Tonight echos through the space. The experience will transport you back in time.
