Jump5 took a break recently from their Hello & Goodbye Tour to visit Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. The group was given a tour of the mansion and grounds, which was videotaped for an upcoming podcast at Elvis.com. While at Graceland, the group also stopped by Elvis Radio for a live interview. Elvis Radio can be heard worldwide, 24 hours a day on Sirius Channel 13.

“I had been to Graceland once before but I was too young to understand and respect the legacy it holds,” says Jump5’s Chris Fedun. “I left Graceland feeling inspired and with higher goals for myself and my music!”

“Visiting Graceland was an amazing experience, and the jungle room is so cool,” adds group member Lesley Moore. “Seeing where Elvis came from made an even bigger impression on me. It made my respect for him grow tremendously.”

Jump5’s tour mates Carried Away also had a chance to tour Graceland. “It was so cool to see it for ourselves. What an amazing place, wall and wall of records. He was one incredible man. The best part was we went though the Elvis Fan Detector and boy did it go off when Christine walked through. Apparently she’s a big fan!” says Carried Away’s Pam Walker.

Jump5’s final album, Hello & Goodbye is now available for $15.99 or less while Carried Away’s I Want You is available for $14.99 or less at Christian retailers across Canada. Both groups are currently in the middle of the 30-city “Hello & Goodbye” North American tour, which kicked off September 7th and runs through the end of the year. The tour also features performances by Jessie Daniels, pureNRG, Sammy Ward and Cali.
