This month sees the opening of a new chapter in Memphis’ live music scene, as the Satellite Music Hall, just across the street from Crosstown Concourse, launches its inaugural season. As a project of Live Nation Entertainment, the venue has been both deeply polarizing and eagerly anticipated — the latter because Live Nation’s command of tour routes that once avoided Memphis will now steer them here. Moreover, the venue is not only partnering with Stax Music Academy to train students, it’s making a point of booking local acts.
