April 12, 2025 -Southern Avenue
Since their explosive debut on Stax Records in 2017, Southern Avenue has been a beacon of energy, captivating audiences worldwide with their high-octane performances and infectious sound. The band, deeply rooted in the blues and the rich musical traditions of Memphis, has garnered critical acclaim, including a coveted GRAMMY® Award nomination in 2020 for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" and multiple honors at the Blues Music Awards.
The story of Southern Avenue is one of serendipity and destiny, beginning with Israeli guitarist Ori Naftaly’s journey to Memphis in search of authentic blues. There, he encountered the powerhouse vocalist Tierinii Jackson, and together with her sister, drummer Tikyra Jackson, and keyboardist Jeremy Powell, they formed a band that would soon take the music world by storm. In 2021, the ensemble reached its full potential with the addition of Ava Jackson, Tierinii and Tikyra’s sister, a classically trained violinist who had previously contributed her vocals to the band’s recordings.
Southern Avenue’s music is a seamless blend of blues, soul, and gospel, with a sound that is distinctly their own. Their deeply moving harmonies, coupled with the raw power of their performances, create a connection with audiences that transcends mere entertainment. They have graced the stages of major festivals such as ACL Fest, Electric Forest, Byron Bay, and Bonnaroo, and have shared tours with legends like Sheryl Crow, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Jason Mraz. This fall, they will join the prestigious Outlaw Music Festival Tour alongside Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, and John Mellencamp.
