The WDVX Big Plate – 5/9 – Southern Avenue
May 9 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Southern Avenue, the electrifying, roots-infused powerhouse from Memphis, has been igniting stages since their explosive Stax Records debut in 2017. Known for their high-energy performances and soul-stirring sound, the band earned a GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Contemporary Blues Album” and is currently up for “Band of the Year” at the 2024 Blues Music Awards. Led by powerhouse vocalist Tierinii Jackson, with Ori Naftaly on guitar, Tikyra Jackson on drums, and Ava Jackson on vocals, percussion, and violin, their sound channels the rich musical heritage of Memphis, blending tradition with a fresh, contemporary edge.
After touring this fall along Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and John Mellencamp, Southern Avenue continues to break barriers. Their new single, “Rum Boogie” is out now, and they’re gearing up for their fourth album, set to release in Spring 2025 on Alligator Records, further cementing their status as modern blues trailblazers.
