SOUTHERN AVENUE: FAMILY

Bio written by Marc Lipkin

This album is more than a record to us; it's a declaration of our growth and unity. Born in the heart of Memphis, our sound reflects the cultural crossroads of this city, a tapestry of harmonies and rhythms that could only come from a melting pot of experiences like ours. These songs chronicle our evolution not just as a band, but as a family. They dive into the moments that shaped us, the struggles that tested us, and the dreams that keep us moving forward. The sound of destiny fulfilled—the sound of people who were meant to find one another. This album isn't just something to hear; it's something to feel. Like a vibrant family photo album, these songs capture snapshots of our past, reflections of our present, and our hopes for the future. To us, music is about connection—and this collection of songs is our invitation to share that connection with you.

Sound and Reception

Rootsy stripped-down Memphis soul masterfully written songs featuring Tierinii Jackson's soaring vocals. AllMusic describes it as inquisitive and uplifting. The band's signature whisk of roots, blues, and soul stylings lean into the spirit of Memphis and maintain a timelessness and soul-laden delivery not unlike The Staple Singers.

Relix notes the compelling, exhilarating anthems that urge the listener to create the world in which they want to live. No Depression agrees with this sentiment.
