Jazz Blues and Rock 'n' Roll

9-day independent rail trip through Chicago, Memphis, and New Orleans

Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package tracing the roots of American music through Chicago, Memphis, and New Orleans. Travelers start in Chicago, exploring its blues scene and main sites, then take the train south to Memphis, watching the landscape roll by along the way. In Memphis, the trip includes a visit to Elvis Presley's Graceland, before continuing by rail to New Orleans for a jazz brunch. As an independent package, travelers arrange their own days between stops rather than following a group leader. It suits music lovers interested in the history of blues, rock 'n' roll, and jazz who want to manage their own schedule across three cities.
