Big Star will soon take their place in front of BB King’s on historic Beale Street in the form of a brass note, which was presented to the original members – Jody Stephens, Chris Bell, Alex Chilton and Andy Hummel – on Saturday, November 13th. Ardent Studios’ owner and founder John Fry, along with Dean Deyo of the Memphis Music Foundation, Susan Murrmann, and author Bob Mehr all had kind words to say about Big Star and its history with Ardent. Jody Stephens accepted the note on behalf of the band and all its members, and lots of friends and family were in attendance to help celebrate.
