Southern Avenue

Description

Natives of Memphis, sisters Tierinii and Tikyra Jackson are shaking up the American local scene all the way to recording on the prestigious and historic Stax label! Produced by Kevin Houston (North Mississippi Allstars), this explosive female duo surrounds themselves with like-minded musicians to create an album brimming with soul and rhythm and blues. A unique mix of gospel, with Tierinii's roots/soul voice supported by the subtle yet dynamic beat of her sister Tikyra on drums, accompanied on this album by guitarist Ori Naftaly, bassist Daniel McKee, and keyboardist Jeremy Powell, this is the recipe for Southern Avenue. If Memphis music were a genre, this would be its best representation. Directly from the Stax academy, the band reconnects with the musical roots of the city by inviting guitarist Luther Dickinson and trumpeter Marc Franklin to join them. The incandescent cover of Ann Peebles will stand as a flawless testament to this new blues and soul combo from Tennessee. A must-discover right now!
