WYXR, Focus Features, and Craig Brewer Want to Give One Memphis Voice a Moment of Music History
Memphis singers: this is your shot.
WYXR is teaming up with Focus Features and Crosstown’s own Craig Brewer to offer one local artist the chance to “Dream Huge” and record a Neil Diamond cover inside one of the most iconic studios in music history: American Recording Studio.
Yes, that studio…the very place where Neil Diamond wrote and recorded “Sweet Caroline” in 1969, right here in the 901.
If you missed our previous Choose901 deep dive into Neil Diamond’s Memphis legacy, you can revisit that story here to fully appreciate the magnitude of this moment. 🎶💎
⭐ What You Could Win
One selected Memphis vocalist will receive:
🎙️ A private recording session at American Recording Studio
📅 Monday, December 8 (an afternoon session)
🎧 The chance to lay down their own Neil Diamond cover in the same room where music history was made
WYXR will notify the winner Monday morning before 10 AM, so keep your phone close.
🎶 Why This Matters
For Memphis musicians, opportunities like this don’t come around often, and they never lose their magic.
Recording at American Studios is like stepping into a time capsule of soul, rock, and storytelling.
The ghosts of hits made here still linger in the walls.
And thanks to WYXR, Focus Features, and Craig Brewer, one Memphis artist will get to add their voice to that legacy.
