Southern Avenue

2020 GRAMMY nominee Southern Avenue is a boundary-breaking Memphis combo that carries the Southern soul legacy into the 21st century and beyond. Fueled by their powerful chemistry and electrifying live show, this fiery five-piece has performed in over fifteen countries and wowed audiences at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Firefly, Electric Forest and Lockn’. Relix calls them “a deeply soulful Memphis blues that’s turning the scene on its head,” and No Depression commented that it’s “easy to imagine Southern Avenue as a house band in their native Memphis or Muscle Shoals in the glory days of the ’60s, sent back to the future to save us from inauthenticity and our collective hurt.” Southern Avenue is currently up for “Band of the Year” at the 2021 Blues Music Awards and is hard at work on a new LP to be released worldwide on Renew Records/BMG in August 2021.
