Hey everybody,

The last 10 months have been simply AMAZING. Southern Avenue is doing better then ever. Got so much to tell but so little time. Let's start from what I am excited about the most:

- Reached the Finals at the 2016 International Blues Challenge !
- Southern Avenue played at Stax Musuem of American Soul and it was all recorded on Beale Street Caravan. Check it out.
- We are excited towards our first european tour that will consist of 3 MAJOR festivals in the benelux. 
- Our single "What Did I Do" was released earlier this year - Check it out
- We are playing over 20 festivals in 2016 and that is exciting and rewarding after all the hard work that me and the band put
- We have a new manager that is helping us deal with all of the workload and you can find him here
- More soon to be announced news are coming in July...so stay tuned!

I am feeling blessed. Be sure to check out our Facebook page and website. 

With love,
Ori

Dear fans, friends and family.

First I want to start with a huge THANK YOU. It has been a crazy ride since I started The Ori Naftaly Band. Since then I toured over 40 states and made all of my dreams come true. I moved to Memphis. I am a different, better person then I ever was. It's all thanks to the music, you the fans, and the experiences I had to deal with on and off the road.

Me, Tierinii and TK are very excited about our new project.

You are welcome to visit our new website, and join our newsletter!

--- ORI NAFTALY WELCOMES Tierinii Jackson​ to The Ori Naftaly Band​ ---

Big News everybody, very excited and feeling blessed for what the future will bring.  This is the official Press Release sent to every blues publication out there:

"Ori Naftaly, the fiery Israeli blues guitarist who now calls Memphis home, announces a major lineup shift, welcoming new lead singer Tierinii Jackson to his band. The Memphis born and bred powerhouse vocalist replaces Eleanor Tsaig, who has left to travel other musical avenues after contributing lead vocals on the first two Ori Naftaly albums. "I'm excited about this change,and what the future will bring" notes Ori. "I know our fans are going to be blown away by Tierinii​! After about two months of looking for a new singer and co-writer, and scouring the blues scene, I ended up finding her in a Baptist church in Memphis. Tierinii is as much of a road veteran as I am, she's toured Europe with gospel groups, and her love for blues, soul and funk finally gets a chance to come to the forefront now that our paths have crossed. I can't wait to get in the studio with her and back out on the road. The best truly is yet to come y'all!" 

Jackson will be making her official debut with Naftaly on Saturday, April 4th at the historic Lafyette's Music Room in Memphis, with shows scheduled across the US for the remainder of 2015 and beyond. The first single with Tierinii is scheduled to be recorded in April and will be released digitally in May, with a new full-length album due out in July-August." www.orinaftaly.com
