Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment and has long had a prominent music scene, with historic blues clubs on Beale Street. The city's music has continued to be shaped by a multi-cultural mix of influences across the blues, country, rock n' roll, soul, and hip-hop genres.
