A TRIP TO THE DEEP SOUTH WORTH OVER £3,000

When it comes to American music, all choruses lead to the Deep South. A pulsating hotbed of blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll that soundtracks the fascinating culture this region harbours. It’s a way of life that the experts at Grand American Adventures can help you tune in to, offering you the chance to win a place on their toe-tapping Deep South and Delta Blues tour.

One king to another

First stop: Atlanta. You have the day to explore this iconic city, well known for its Southern charm and delicious local cuisine. Next, spend time in Birmingham soaking up the birthplace of the civil rights movement, spearheaded by Dr Martin Luther King Jr, before bee-lining south for the cultural crossroads of New Orleans. Wander its elegant French Quarter, feast on classic Louisiana fare on a Mississippi cruise and enjoy jazz notes at the iconic Preservation Hall.

Next up, a day in both Natchez and Clarksdale, to explore their historical plantations. Then it’s on to Memphis and Nashville – two grandfathers of American music. In the former, memories of the musical greats are found on just about every corner: Beale Street has hosted the likes of Louis Armstrong and BB King, Sun Studio has welcomed Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley’s iconic Graceland home will leave you all shook up. Finally, switch from rock ‘n’ roll to country in Nashville, holing up in the honky tonks of Broadway and at the Grand Ole Opry.
