Levitt Shell (Overton Park Shell) and Elvis's early performance

The Levitt Shell, originally known as the Overton Park Shell, is an outdoor music pavilion in Overton Park that hosts free public concerts and community events. Elvis Presley performed at the Overton Park Shell in 1954, one of his earliest paid local appearances, and the site is tied to Memphis's live-music history. The venue continues to present a broad range of musical performances in an open-air setting.
