Southern Avenue performs at Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts
Sat, Oct 18 , 2025
201 Schaumburg Ct., Schaumburg, IL 60193
Experience the soul of Memphis—a powerhouse of blues, rock & gospel. Opening the night, Chicago’s Grammy-winning Sheryl Youngblood delivers fiery vocals & groove for an unforgettable evening of nonstop talent.
Southern Avenue, the Blues Music Award-winning, GRAMMY-nominated Memphis-based family band, plays original Memphis blues, modern soul, and gospel-infused roots music that is uplifting and timeless. They are known worldwide for their inclusive, message-driven songs fueled by hard-hitting grooves and electrifying guitar. The band’s new album, Family, makes it clear that Southern Avenue creates musical storytelling magic.
The band has quickly garnered critical acclaim, receiving the coveted Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist 2018. Their 2019 release, Keep On, received a GRAMMY nomination. Their third album, 2021’s Be The Love You Want (BMG/Renew Records), was produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) with a song co-written by Jason Mraz.
Sheryl Youngblood is a Grammy Award-winning drummer and vocalist and a Chicago Blues Hall-of-Famer. Known for her signature R&B and soul-tinged sound, Youngblood returns to the Prairie Center by popular demand after headlining last season's Leading Ladies of the Blues.
