Sons of Sun – Elvis, Jerry Lee, Johnny and Me is a rock and roll play about Sun Records, Memphis, and the famous musicians who started their careers there. Much like the famous Sun Records label itself, this Australian production has become the little music dream that rocked. In a few short years this play has travelled from its humble 2012 debut at the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown, Sydney to sold out shows and standing ovations at the Sydney Opera House and around Australia.

Told through the character of Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, his assistant Marion Keisker, and the musicians that Sam recorded, the show features a three-piece live band fronted by Canberra musician, Cameron Smith, performing excerpts of thirty-five songs from Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and many more. The tenacious Sam Phillips is played by Sydney actor, Matt Charleston, with co-stars Victoria Beck, Ben Maclaine and Harrison Keen taking on multiple roles from Sam’s assistant Marion Keisker to Johnny Cash.

The Sydney Morning Herald’s John Shand described the show as “ neither a musical nor a cabaret, but rather an innovative hybrid that is part play, part concert.”. Sydney’s weekly magazine The Music said the show is, “an impressive troupe of professionals developing a rarely heard narrative with enthusiasm and fine creativity.” Glenn A. Baker stated, “The show sent shivers down my spine.”

John Kennedy of Love Gone Wrong fame began developing the Sons of Sun concept in 2011 with the release of his Sons of Sun Vol.1 CD. Award winning Melbourne playwright Kieran Carroll (Newk - The John Newcombe Story and Late, Late At Night - The Rick Springfield story) has written an accompanying script. Director Louise Fischer seamlessly blends the narratives and songs to produce a compelling, original and heartbreaking blend of rock and roll theatre. The stage band is fronted by Cameron Smith from acclaimed Canberra band, Sun Bears. He sings the songs of the iconic Sun Records artists with former Red Wiggle Murray Cook and Phil Hall completing the Sons of Sun stage band. Neil Gooding was the originating director for the show.
