Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Natalie Wilson, Executive Director of The Overton Park Shell, who shares some of the history for the organization and highlights their vibrant mission and efforts “to build community through music and education, finding common ground in a diverse audience.” During the interview, Natalie talks about Elvis’ famous first performance at The Overton Park Shell, the importance of supporting the creative arts and giving local artists an opportunity to shine, how the community can come together and enjoy their free concert series, and also support their efforts through paid events and sponsorships. She also spotlights the launch of Shell on Wheels, which is a portable stage and collaborative opportunity to make the performing arts accessible to all of Memphis.
