Shop one-of-a-kind memorabilia and support music education!

Music education is about more than learning a song. It’s about understanding the history, culture, and people who shaped the music we love.

The Take Me to the River Education Initiative brings these stories to life through university residencies, educational concerts, teacher development, and curriculum created in collaboration with institutions like Berklee College of Music, The New School, and GRAMMY Museum.

From classrooms in Los Angeles and Memphis to educational programs around the world, we’re working to ensure the musical traditions of Memphis and New Orleans continue to inspire future generations.

You can help support this work by shopping our limited-edition Take Me to the River merchandise, including signed tour posters and one-of-a-kind memorabilia.

Proceeds support our Education Initiative and our mission to make music history accessible to students and communities.
