Blues Music Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated, Southern Avenue is a Memphis-based family band blending original blues, modern soul, and gospel-infused roots music into an uplifting, timeless sound. Known worldwide for their inclusive, message-driven songs, they deliver hard-hitting grooves and electrifying guitar. Their latest album, Family, makes it clear that Southern Avenue creates musical storytelling magic.

The band is unlike any other on the scene today, featuring powerhouse vocalist Tierinii Jackson alongside her sisters Tikyra “T.K.” Jackson (drums) and Ava Jackson (percussion/violin), and guitarist Ori Naftaly. “Through our music,” says Naftaly, “we expand our family to include our fans and whomever is moved by our songs.”

The inspiring harmonies of the church-raised Jackson sisters are fueled by Naftaly, whose passion for blues and soul music led him to Memphis from his birthplace in Israel. Together, they blend the city’s musical traditions with their own thoroughly modern worldview. Their authentic and unfiltered original songs are a bold step in defining the future of Memphis music. They are among the most musically riveting and visually exciting live bands. As Jambase states, “Southern Avenue is jaw-dropping. They are not to be missed.”Their latest album, Family, produced by GRAMMY-winner John Burk and recorded at the legendary Royal Studios, cements Southern Avenue as one of today’s most dynamic live acts. From headlining festivals to touring with icons like Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan, they continue to captivate audiences worldwide. With deep Memphis roots and a sound that bridges generations and genres, Southern Avenue is more than a band—it’s a movement, bringing fans into their ever-growing musical family.
