Upcoming JPR Live Sessions: Next Up Southern Avenue

JPR welcomes Southern Avenue to our studio for a JPR Live Sessions on July 3rd. JPR Live Sessions is a series of live in-studio music performances and conversations with artists. The series is hosted by JPR Open Air hosts Dave Jackson and Danielle Kelly.

Southern Avenue - July 3rd

The Memphis-based Southern Soul combo Southern Avenue was named after a street that runs through Memphis and ends at "Soulsville," the home of Stax Records. The Grammy nominated group, founded by guitarist Ori Natfaly with vocals by Tierinii Jackson and her sister Tikyra (TK) on drums, just released their 4th full-length album Family. It's been featured recently on Open Air. Relix said Family "leans into the spirit of Memphis and maintains a timelessness and soul-laden delivery not unlike The Staple Singers."

They are kicking off this year's Riverbend Live summer concert series in Winston on July 4th.

JPR Live Sessions are made possible with support from The Talent Club with live music and cold drinks in a casual atmosphere in downtown Talent, Oregon. Find their live music schedule at talentclublive.com

Dave Jackson curates the music on JPR's Rhythm and News Service, manages music staff and hosts Open Air, JPR's hand-picked house blend of music, JPR Live Sessions and Open Air Amplified. The exploration of music has been one of his lifelong passions.
Recent threats to federal funding are challenging the way stations like JPR provide service to small communities in rural parts of the country.
