Grammy-nominated Memphis blues outfit Southern Avenue has announced an assortment of new 2022 tour dates including a lengthy European run, a five-show U.S. run supporting Sheryl Crow and Keb’ Mo’ and more.
A family band to its core, Southern Avenue is built around sisters Tikyra Jackson (drums) and Tierinii Jackson (lead vocals) and lead guitarist Ori Naftaly, who is married to Tierinii. In addition to keyboardist Jeremy Powell and bassist Evan Sarver, the band now features a third Jackson sister, Ava, on backing vocals.
The busy touring schedule for Southern Avenue comes in support of the group’s acclaimed 2021 record, Be The Love You Want.
“I can’t believe we’re FINALLY going on the road and sharing this music with the universe!” says Tierinii Jackson of the forthcoming tour. “We put our heart and soul into this. These songs were meant to uplift and get you grooving in the right direction!”

In early March 2020, the band was on tour in Norway when the world started to shut down. “We literally escaped after the first few shows and got back to the U.S. just as they were shutting the borders,” says Ori Naftaly of the experience. “We had to cancel a week of shows in Denmark (and over 150 more upon our return). Really excited to get back to Europe and play live… we didn’t know if this would ever be doable again.”
“We’re blessed to do what we do,” Tierinii adds. “We don’t take any of this for granted.”
