Rock Down Hwy. 67
Rock Down Hwy. 67
The 1950s saw the birth of rock and rockabilly music, and the clubs along this Arkansas’s highway were no exception. Silver Moon, Porky's Roof Top and King of Clubs were area clubs that hosted Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty, Sonny Burgess and more legends. Tour museums and stop at road markers along the Rock ‘N’ Roll Highway to learn how the region shaped music history. Continue the immersive music experience with a stay in a rock-themed hotel, walking on a larger-than-life Epiphone and seeing where The Beatles landed in The Natural State at the height of Beatlemania in 1964.
