Guy Sebastian has just returned from Memphis where he recorded his new album, The Memphis Album which includes classics like ‘Soul Man’, ‘In The Midnight Hour’, ‘Knock On Wood’, ‘Respect Yourself’ and ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’ and to celebrate this very special release Guy will hit the road and tour nationally with the band that defined soul music in the 1960s, The MG’s. Guy will perform with original members of the MG’s nationally in theatres and concert halls in February & March 2008. Tickets to the Memphis Tour will go on sale Monday 12th November.

Guy was fortunate enough to have such musical legends play on The Memphis Album, as many of the musicians who played on the album actually wrote and recoded the original versions of the songs with the likes of Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Al Green, Wilson Pickett & Booker T. The MG’s band are responsible for soul music as we know it today.

While Guy was recording the album in Memphis, the band agreed to travel to Australia and go on the road with Sebastian to showcase his new album to Australian audiences. Musicians include, Steve Cropper, who co produced the album with Guy and is best known for co-writing ‘In The Midnight Hour’, ‘Knock On Wood’, and ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’.
