Share this article

    (January 26, 2017) Southern Avenue is a Memphis street that runs from the easternmost part of the city limits all the way to Soulsville, the original home of Stax Records. Southern Avenue is also the name of a fiery young Memphis quintet that embodies its home city's soul, blues and gospel traditions, while adding a youthful spirit and dynamic energy all their own. "If Memphis music is a genre, this is it!" proclaims American Blues Scene, and Rock 103FM calls Southern Avenue, "The most-talked-about band in Memphis."

    Their self-titled debut album, arriving on February 27, is a breath of fresh air with its own unique blend of gospel- tinged R&B vocals, roots/blues-based guitar work and soul-inspired songwriting. And Southern Avenue’s upcoming release on the fabled Stax label is a testament to the young combo's talent and vision.

    Southern Avenue features five young but seasoned musicians who came from diverse musical and personal backgrounds to create music that spans their wide-ranging musical interests, while showcasing the powerful chemistry that the group has honed through stage and studio experience. The result of their union is the best debut we've heard so far this year, and an immediate "must have" release.

    So we are extremely proud to present the World Premiere of a fantastic cut from the upcoming album, "Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love." It is a funky, upbeat cut that screams classic soul while bringing it all forward to 2017 in a truly unique manner. Tierinii Jackson of the group tells us, "Ann Peebles is so strong and gritty, but still so feminine and sexy. ‘Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love’ was appealing because it embodies that sass and femininity with a groove that had us all rocking from beginning to end." 

    We love it and know that you will too. Check out "Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love" below and take a walk down Southern Avenue!
