Southern Avenue

Southern Avenue, the Blues Music Award-winning, GRAMMY-nominated Memphis-based family band, plays original blues, modern soul, and gospel-infused roots music that is uplifting and timeless. They are known worldwide for their positive, message-driven original songs fueled by hard-hitting grooves and electrifying guitar. The group features three Memphis-born singers who perfected their vocals in church before embracing their own sound. Lead vocalist/songwriter Tierinii Jackson backed by her two harmonizing musician sisters, Tikyra (T.K.) on drums and Ava on percussion and violin. Tierinii’s husband, Israel-born guitarist/songwriter Ori Naftaly, brings his raw Memphis guitar. Their new album, Family, finds Southern Avenue creating musical storytelling magic. On Family, the band unleashes one musically memorable performance after another, all delivered with soul-healing power and fueled by warm sister harmonies, Naftaly’s deeply rooted guitar playing and T.K.’s propulsive drumming. In whole, Family unveils universal truths about the unshakable power of togetherness. Southern Avenue is named after the famous street that runs through the center of Memphis, leading right past the original Stax Records. Constant touring has brought Southern Avenue to destinations across North America, Europe and Australia, and earned them non-stop adulation from fans, press and fellow musicians. In 2024, they joined the Outlaw Music Festival tour, performing alongside Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.
