Amazing American Music Tour: From Broadway Lights to Southern Nights

If your heart beats in time with a great soundtrack, this incredible music tour across the USA is made for you.

Across two unforgettable weeks, you will trace the story of American music from Broadway to the bayou, through blues-soaked Mississippi, rock ’n’ roll Memphis, country‑loving Nashville and the soulful cities of Chattanooga and Atlanta.

Along the way you will enjoy comfortable flights, handpicked hotels, private transfers, iconic music experiences and the freedom of the open road.

New York: Broadway, Jazz & City Beats

Your adventure begins with a premium Delta Air Lines flight from Manchester to New York, so you arrive relaxed and ready to explore. Touching down at JFK, you make your way to Midtown West and your stylish base: Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square.

Your King City View room places you right at the heart of the action. Step outside and Times Square’s bright lights, street performers and giant billboards create a dazzling backdrop. This is your launchpad for two nights of big‑city sound:

Broadway showtunes in world‑class theatres

Smooth jazz and blues in intimate clubs

Rooftop bars with DJs and live sets high above the streets

New York sets the tone with a mix of show music, jazz, blues, pop and rock, all layered over the hum of the city that never sleeps.

New Orleans: Jazz, Blues & Riverboat Rhythms

A private transfer returns you to JFK for your flight south to New Orleans, where the mood shifts from skyscrapers to steeples and wrought‑iron balconies. On arrival you are met and transferred to the Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette French Quarter Area Hotel, your base for three nights.

From here it is an easy stroll into the French Quarter, where:

Brass bands play on street corners

Jazz and blues spill from every doorway

Gospel, funk and soul add rich layers to the city’s sound

A true highlight is your included Steamboat Natchez Jazz Dinner Cruise. As you glide along the Mississippi River, a live jazz band provides the soundtrack while you dine and watch the New Orleans skyline glow in the evening light. It is an atmospheric, quintessential Crescent City experience.

Jackson & Tupelo: Delta Blues & The Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll

Your journey continues into the heart of Mississippi. You travel to Jackson and check in to the Best Western Plus Jackson Downtown‑Coliseum, where your comfortable king room and included breakfast offer a relaxed base for two nights. Here, the music turns raw and soulful, rooted in Delta blues. Explore local venues, museums and historic markers that tell the stories behind the songs.

The following day you collect your pre‑arranged convertible hire car: automatic, air‑conditioned and ideal for Southern road tripping. With the roof down and your favourite playlist on, you drive to Tupelo, Elvis Presley’s birthplace, where you spend two nights at the Quality Inn Tupelo Central. Your king, non‑smoking room with breakfast included gives you time to discover how gospel, country and blues fused into early rock ’n’ roll in this small Mississippi town.

Memphis: Soul, R&B & A VIP Graceland Experience

Next, the road carries you to legendary Memphis. You stay two nights at the voco Hotel Napoleon Memphis by IHG in a King Premium room with breakfast for two.

Downtown Memphis is pure music history:

Beale Street’s neon lights and live blues bars

Soul and R&B echoing from historic venues

Rock ’n’ roll landmarks that changed music forever

Included in your tour is a VIP Entourage Tour of Graceland with access to Elvis’s airplanes. This enhanced, behind‑the‑scenes experience gives you a deeper insight into the King’s life, sound and style, and is a real highlight for any music fan.

Nashville: Country Capital of the World

From Memphis you drive to Nashville, checking into the Millennium Hotel Maxwell House for one night in a Club King room with breakfast. Nashville is the beating heart of country music, where:

Honky‑tonks line the streets with live bands from morning to late

Songwriters share stories and stripped‑back sets in intimate venues

Country, bluegrass and Americana blend into one irresistible soundtrack

It is impossible not to be swept up in the energy of this city.

Chattanooga & Atlanta: Bluegrass, Hip‑Hop & Modern Southern Soul

Your final Southern chapters add yet more genres to your playlist. In Chattanooga you stay one night at Holiday Inn Express Chattanooga Downtown in a King Suite with breakfast. Nestled among Tennessee’s hills, this relaxed city has a growing live music scene, where bluegrass, folk and roots music fill cosy venues and outdoor stages.

Then it is on to Atlanta for your final night at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlanta Northlake. Your spacious junior suite, complete with separate living area and breakfast, gives you a comfortable base to explore a city known for:

Cutting‑edge hip‑hop

Smooth R&B

Neo‑soul and a vibrant contemporary arts scene
