This is an up close and personal tour in a private SUV, not a 40 passenger bus with a loudspeaker! You'll be able to ask questions and guide will dole out information not heard on other star tours. You'll see some of the stars' homes up close, some from a distance, some we won't be able to see anything but the gate or the driveway; but you'll see the neighborhood and get a feel for the area they live in. This is a fun tour. Ask about extended tours that go further out from Nashville to see more homes. Let us know who your favorites are, and we can see what we can work in or what area we might can focus on.

Ride VIP style from Nashville to Memphis in very comfortable Ford Transit Coversion van. This is a private trip for your group! This is a group rate (not per person). I'm a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and lifelong Elvis & Johnny Cash fan. I’ve recorded at Sun Studio, toured the U.S. as a musician, performed during Elvis Week at Graceland for over a decade, and worked with folks who knew Elvis, Johnny, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. I built this tour to give fellow fans a flexible day built around the King’s legacy. From the gates of Graceland to the Mississippi River to Beale Street, the trip is packed with iconic stops. You’ll purchase your own attraction tickets—I’m happy to help with timing and suggestions. I’ll handle the driving and guiding, and if time allows, we can swing by Stax or the Civil Rights Museum. I might even break out the guitar and sing you a tune!

I would have never put this tour together had it not been for a sweet 14 year old girl and her wonderful grandparents. She wanted to see everything Taylor in Nashville and they wanted to gift her that so I did extensive research and questioned my inside contacts in the music business and figured it all out. I learned more about Taylor than I could have ever imagined I might know! And we all had a great time that day exploring it all! I don't listen to her music to be honest, but I respect the business woman now worth over 2 billion and who gives so much of it away. So, come with me to see the places where Taylor lived and still lives and where she recorded in Nashville. From her first house, her hangouts, her favorite lunch spots and record stores, where she was discovered, where she wrote songs, where she recorded huge hits, where she's played and where she shot some of her iconic videos. Get immersed in Swiftie town!
