Hernando's Hide-A-Way's Storied Past:
As the text on our Historical Marker Sign reads, "Hernando's Hide-A-Way, featuring rockabilly music for over 50 years, closed in 2006.
Elvis Presley played here in 1953. Johnny Burnette sang "The Hide-A-Way* in the 1956 hit "Rock Billy Boogie." The song "Hernando's Hideaway' in the 1957 movie The Pajama Game made the name more famous. Joe Arnold & The Memphis Four and Billy Adams & The Nuggets were the house bands in the 1960s and 1970s, often joined by the likes of Charlie Rich, Duck Dunn, and others. Originally outside the city, the club was known to be rowdy; arsonists burned an expansion in 1982. Once restored, Jerry Lee Lewis appeared so frequently that he called the club his "office." In 2018, musician Dale Watson & his wife Celine Lee reopened the club and brought to town the Ameripolitan Awards celebrating rockabilly and honky tonk music.
