Join traveler extraordinaire Daniel Seddiqui on a guided, immersive journey through the American South that reveals the region's pivotal influence on music through hands-on, experience-based activities that build lasting connections and travel memories.

Many genres of music — including the blues, bluegrass, country, rock and roll, and gospel — have roots in the American South, and the region has nurtured some of the world's most famous and talented musicians — from Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn to Elvis Presley and B.B. King.

Seddiqui—dubbed "the Most Traveled Person in America" — leads readers on an experience-based travel journey through the music of the South.

The curated itinerary features:

• stops in Lexington, the hollers of eastern Kentucky, Bristol, Pigeon Forge, Nashville, Memphis, the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans, Lafayette, Houston, and Austin

• fun, hands-on learning opportunities—from taking a line-dancing class to hand-crafting an instrument—that allow travelers to experience firsthand the music that flows through the region;

• interviews with noted makers and musicians who provide insight into the region's craft and music traditions

• information on lodging and other attractions that travelers should be sure not to miss as they jam their way through the South.
