The band has been setting stages ablaze since their explosive Stax Records debut in 2017. Their rise is underscored by a coveted GRAMMY® Award nomination for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" and multiple nominations for Blues Music Awards. In 2018, they clinched the Blues Music Award for “Best Emerging Artist.” The band, consisting of lead vocalist Tierinii Jackson, guitarist Ori Naftaly, keyboardist Jeremy Powell, drummer and vocalist Tikyra Jackson, and the versatile Ava Jackson on vocals, percussion, and violin, forms a musical juggernaut. Having toured with luminaries such as Sheryl Crow, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Jason Mraz, Southern Avenue just toured the US on the Outlaw Music Festival Tour in September, joining the lineup alongside Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, and John Mellencamp. The band just finished recording their fourth album and Alligator Records debut at Memphis’ legendary Royal Studio. Produced by Multi-GRAMMY® winner John Burk (Ray Charles, Melissa Etheridge, George Benson) and recorded by Multi-GRAMMY® winner Boo Mitchell (Bruno Mars, Cedric Burnside, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram). “Found A Friend In You” is a preview of the new album.
