FIND YOUR TUNE IN BROWNSVILLE
“In the West Tennessee blues destination of Brownsville stands an architectural wonder that must baffle tourists expecting to see only the shack of blues legend Sleepy John Estes. The immense steel structure, just blocks from the town’s main square and county court house, is the product of one William Blevin “Billy” Tripp, who is as indelible to Brownsville’s community and creative spirit as Estes
once was.”
“Music Heritage Destination! Explore Flagg Grove School, the one-room school Tina attended as a child and home of the world’s only Tina Turner Museum. Step inside the shotgun home of Blues pioneer Sleepy John Estes and experience the Country Blues sound that grew from hard work and cotton fields. Discover other famous musicians of the region, such as Carl Perkins, Eddy Arnold and Hank Williams Jr.; plus a “wild” river ... all in one place.”
