The Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum and Pepe Ape Yacht Club are launching a new NFT

Elvis Presley is now a digital Rockabilly collectible.

…if you’re a music fan, investor, or just fascinated by the growth and future of digital collectibles, RHOFM and Pepe Ape Yacht Club are building a boat you don’t want to miss.

They are often the lament of those who miss an investment opportunity, or who simply look back on history and wish they had a crystal ball:

“Hindsight is 20/20.”

“I wish I knew what I know now.”

“I could have gotten in on the first floor.”

“I missed the boat on that one.”

The Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum (RHOFM) celebrates the music of the past and present with a new partnership that is nothing short of futuristic. It involves the web3 area and frankly, many of the terms that would surely have iconic stars of the 1950s — and their fans — scratching their heads; terms such as “NFT”, “cryptocurrency”, “digital”, “blockchain” and “internet-based”.

Welcome to Web3 … the generation of the digital world that goes beyond the Internet capabilities of previous generations; searches for static content posted by others. The Web3 space is about information, content and now valuable assets, which are interactive and accessible on demand in highly personal ways. When Siri and Alexa answer your call, it’s a dynamic example of Web3.

In partnership with a wildly inventive little internet entity called the Pepe Ape Yacht Club, (PAYC) Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum, (and the allied Rockabilly Artists Alliance), a registered 501c3 celebrating and promoting Rockabilly music, never-before-seen-or -experienced digital collectibles, called “NFTs.” RHOFM has licensed exclusive images from its archives to PAYC for this remarkable opportunity.

What is an NFT? Imagine owning shares of the Mona Lisa, the Hope Diamond, or one of a limited number of unique minted coins. That is the essence of owning an NFT; a non-fungible token, a digital collectible with a unique identification code that tracks ownership of the token just as a VIN identifies a vehicle with its rightful owner.

With unique images and video clips licensed by RHOFM, Pepe Ape Yacht Club creates a limited edition that can be kept as is, or for fun and unique entertainment, can be “transformed” into other images and benefits through the Pepe Ape Yacht Club platform. Each token, or NFT, has a unique and immutable code; an identifier for the owner and subsequent investors who purchase from the original owner.

The first rollout, images and audio clips, many never before seen or heard, come from the Elvis Presley collection exclusively owned by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum. Just like music, it’s creative and entertaining, and all in fun… with a nice twist. An NFT can be a good investment.

PAYC holders can now go online and create an exclusive Elvis NFT through this PAYC link. For direct access to the Rockabilly Elvis collection or to acquire via secondary once the initial sale has closed, buyers should refer to opensea.

When Elvis Presley first began his career at the Louisiana Hayride, even his fans didn’t know what to call his music. The press called him “the newest and freshest voice in country music,” Hayride announcer Frank Page told Elvis he was “new and innovative” and that “they’ve been looking for something new in the folk music field,” and the kids started calling. him “The Hillbilly Cat” or “The Memphis Flash”.

“Elvis had something unique, something that didn’t fit into any category of the day,” says Joey Kent, owner of the Louisiana Hayride Archives and VP/Curator of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum. “He pioneered his own category – Rockabilly, and saw it blossom into Rock ‘N’ Roll. Now, with Elvis NFT, we are part of a new groundbreaking effort; to honor the past in a way that has never existed before.”

Like Elvis with music, PAYC is charting a new path in the growing NFT market. Pepe Ape Yacht Club has established a large following in the Web3 arena with offerings that are truly new and innovative in the digital marketplace.

According to Kent, “Attracted to the same qualities that Elvis possessed and shaped into greatness, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum has licensed several Presley photos from the Louisiana Hayride days to PAYC on their own rise to the top. The legacy of the Louisiana Hayride is as a place of innovation where artists can find themselves and perfect their craft on their way to the big time.As upholders of this legacy, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum is committed to working with innovators of all kinds as a way for the Rockabilly spirit to live on on.”

Pepe Ape Yacht Club represents the two most iconic cultures in the web3 space by celebrating iconic characters and building true ownership and access in a top-tier digital community. The Elvis tokens both preserve and create new history, while offering true ownership-based rewards for investors who hold these unique tokens.

This NFT project is changing the direction of the NFT space and creating real use cases and purposes for blockchain connectivity, according to PAYC. The project provides an open door with helping hands to ensure safe practice and allow holders to take full advantage of the many opportunities.

We live in the “old days” of digital collectibles. What is made today will be tomorrow’s Mona Lisa, or the Berkshire Hathaway share. In short, says Kent, “if you’re a music fan, investor, or just fascinated by the growth and future of digital collectibles, RHOFM and Pepe Ape Yacht Club are building a boat you don’t want to miss.”
