Southern Avenue is an American five- to six-member blues and soul blues band from Memphis, Tennessee, United States. Formed in 2015, they took their name from a street in Memphis running from the easternmost part of the city limits to "Soulsville", which was the original home of Stax Records.[4][5] Rock 103 described them as "the most talked about band in Memphis."[1] Southern Avenue reached the finals of the International Blues Challenge in 2016.[4]

Their self-titled debut album entered the US Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart at number 6 in February 2017,[6] and reached number 1 on the iTunes Blues Chart.
