The name Sam Phillips may not be singed on to our collective rock ‘n’ roll consciousness in the same way as Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis, but the owner of Sun Records was an inarguable mainspring for the genre.
The theatrical story of Phillips and his little recording studio in Memphis, Sons of Sun, premiered at Sydney Fringe Festival in September 2012 and has enjoyed enduring success since then. The play’s latest run is set to begin October 19 at the Bridge Hotel in Rozelle.
