Adia Victoria
Southern blues rocker, Adia Victoria is a daughter of the South; a born and bred South Carolinian. On her first two albums, Victoria explored the conflicts of the American South and the troubling resonance of its past through her unique voice and raw storytelling ability. Victoria has collaborated with artists including Jason Isbell and Margo Price and her latest album A Southern Gothic, continues to infuse the history of an inclusive South with haunting blues vocals that paint a resoundingly powerful picture of the frustrations and complications of being a Black woman in the South.
