From MemphisRap.com: VH1 Soul will be in Memphis later this month filming their television series, "Soul Cities," a show that attempts to discover the "real soul" of cities that are historically known for soul music. The digital network will be here for five days, looking to shine the national spotlight not only on our rich musical heritage, but equally as important, the renaissance that is taking place on the local soul music scene today.

The show will feature a performance by Memphis soul artist (and Memphis Flyer employee) Tonya Dyson. Learn more about Tonya here. Learn more about the show here.
