2015年，由來自以色列的吉他手Ori Naftley，邀集其他四人組成全新團體『南方大道』，以靈魂、藍調結合搖滾型式，在孟斐斯一帶深受歡迎。Ori原本有自己的樂團，專門演奏藍調。但是結識女歌手Tierinii Jackson之後，『南方大道』這個全新樂團的概念就確立。Tierinii的演唱爆發力，帶有點復古的唱腔，可以把靈魂與藍調的深層感動，直接征服人心。正好與Ori的吉他演奏風格不謀而合。

2017年，首張同名專輯一推出，在iTunes藍調專輯排行榜立刻獲得冠軍。而美國告示牌藍調專輯，更是以新人姿態搶下第6名佳績。勵志取向的「Don`t Give UP」做為專輯第一首歌，完全讓樂迷放心繼續聽下去。「It`s Gonna Be Alright」與「Love Me Right」敘述著兩個感人的故事，中板速度的樂曲中帶點復古的意味。「80 Miles From Memphis」與「No Time To Lose」，兩首歌曲將藍調與靈魂樂的快活與爆發力，徹底顯現。專輯最後一首抒情歌曲「Pace Will Come」，則訴說著希望總會到來，永不放棄是不變的目標。

今日仍有著過去不變的搖滾精神，南方大道合唱團正是這個精神的21世紀傳人。
