Memphis, TN –The Memphis Music Foundation, a not for profit organization dedicated to helping Memphis music find business success, has launched a series of Memphis Means Music holiday ornaments commemorating the music city’s legendary music labels. Adorned with the famous Stax snapping finger, the first ornament features the Stax label.
“We wanted a creative fundraiser that allowed music fans to express their love of Memphis music. The ornament series offers a fun way to celebrate the great labels from Memphis’s past and present, stated Dean Deyo, Memphis Music Foundation president. “We thought it was appropriate to begin with the Stax as a tribute to our current board chair person Al Bell, who was a key figure and co-owner of Stax Records during the latter half of the label's nineteen-year existence.”
The Memphis Music Foundation commissioned local Memphis artist Connie Lampen to hand paint each of the ornaments. A $35 donation in the name of your favorite music lover and the Foundation will send the recipient the ornament and a gift card acknowledging your gift.
