Artist Bio
Southern Avenue is named after the famous street that runs through the center of Memphis, leading right past the original Stax Records. But it was still a surprise when they became the first Memphis band signed to the newly reformed Stax label, which released their self-titled debut album in 2017. Praise came fast from the media as the band’s fanbase swelled. In 2018 Southern Avenue received the coveted Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist. Their 2019 release, Keep On, received a GRAMMY nomination. Their third album, 2021’s Be The Love You Want (BMG/Renew Records), was produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) with a song co-written by Jason Mraz.
