Why put it on your list?

FAME is in the city of Muscle Shoals, south of the Tennessee River. Its tours introduce the studios associated with artists including Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. It continues to operate as a recording studio.

Choose the tour experience on the studio's own website and check the arrangements for your intended day. The standard and backstage visits offer different access, including different accessibility provisions. FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio are separate places; a visit to one does not cover the other.
