Now the bar that I first heard them in as an actual band was The Blue Monkey in Memphis Tennessee
but prior to that, I met +Ori Naftaly and +Tierinii jackson at Mark Parsell`s (http://harvtography.blogspot.com/2016/03/mark-parsell-man-with-finger-on-pulse.html) South Main Sounds Singer songwriter ( http://harvtography.blogspot.com/2016/03/south-main-sounds-meet-me-in-memphis.html ) 16.

After hearing them in a acoustic setting I couldn't wait to hear the actual band live. A that time I thought Tierinii was just a solo artist and Ori was just a guitarist and a friend of mine told me on no they are band and her sisters just as talented as she is. So I really couldn`t wait to capture the full experience of Southern Avenue .
In the meantime while still on my Mary Owens (http://harvtography.blogspot.com/2015/11/mary-owens-treasure-should-be-discovered.html ) fix (to which I am still on). I found out Mary was
at +Otherlands Coffee Bar , so of course I attended(and of course she was wonderful) After she was done I bought her CD "Sweet Soul" (even though I already had a digital copy via Itunes), and to my surprise on a couple of songs one of the background vocalist is Tikrya Jackson!!

So now, I`m really eager to hear this band that`s not only catching my interest and the city of Memphis but those on a much larger scale like say +Melissa Etheridge when she made a recent visit working on her upcoming CD , being finalist in the International Blues Challenge, and most recently being officially signed by +Stax Records (congratulations by the way)

Not bad for band that`s only been together about a year and getting ready to head to Europe to tour
So if you happen to in a club or bar and the musical entertainment is in fact +Southern Ave , stick around for an incredible show or the jokes gonna be on you!!
