A Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, Victory Boyd has emerged as one of the most compelling artists of her generation, blending gospel, soul, folk, and spiritual reflection into a sound that feels both timeless and profoundly intimate. Opening for Boyd is Memphis’ very own singer/songwriter Doll McCoy

Victory Boyd is a musical storyteller whose raw, soulful and deeply spiritual songs feel like prayers. Raised in Detroit to a family of nine musicians, her sound blends gospel, jazz, folk, and R&B with cinematic atmosphere and divine intent. After performing with her siblings to New York City audiences and gaining viral recognition, she and her family were signed by Jay-Z to Roc Nation in 2017. However, it was clear Victory’s voice had the strength to stand on its own.

Her debut solo album The Broken Instrument (2018) showcases her artistry and won her acclaim, leading to collaborations with Kanye West (Jesus Is King) and serving as the opening act for Lauryn Hill, among others, on their respective tours. Her 2023 album Glory Hour merges tradition with modern textures and reflective lyrics, proving that spiritual music doesn’t need to follow the rules to carry divine weight. Her upcoming project dives into themes of love, grief, and healing, allowing her versatility as a writer to shine. With every release, Victory pushes genre boundaries, aiming to stir the soul and leave a lasting emotional impact.

Doll McCoy is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Memphis,TN. She formed her roots singing, and directing in the church choir at Greater Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Going on to become a student at Ridgeway Jr. High/High School, she met her 3 sisters and together they formed the group “ADAJYO” and have been together for 17 years. With a desire to expand her artistry, she relocated to Los Angeles, CA from 2011-2015, working with artists such as Raphael Saadiq and Leonna Lewis. In 2015, she went on to work for the B.B. King Blues Club, traveling the world aboard Holland America Cruise Lines until 2018. Now back in Memphis, she uses all that she has learned and continues to perform in the city and create new music with ADAJYO and plans to release her own new music soon!

LOW KEY LIVE is an immersive live experience from Atlanta-based artist A$H., built entirely inside the world of her vinyl album — where each performance becomes a living version of the record. The show brings the album’s aesthetic to life in real time: pink, neon, smoky, pretty, honest, alive — transforming music into atmosphere and performance into feeling.

Rather than a traditional set, LOW KEY LIVE unfolds as a continuous emotional world between artist and audience, designed to move fluidly across cities while staying deeply personal in scale and energy. A touring concept built for connection, not distance.

for the ones who feel everything.

A$H. is an Atlanta-based independent artist blending alternative R&B, pop, and electronic influences into emotionally driven, cinematic music. Her work is rooted in atmosphere, vulnerability, and intentional world-building, transforming songs into immersive emotional experiences. She has opened for artists including PJ Morton and Durand Bernarr, and has contributed background vocals for major artists such as Janelle Monáe, Solange, John Legend, and Summer Walker, grounding her artistry in both live performance and professional studio collaboration.

Spend a cozy Sunday evening with multi-hyphenate musician David Ryan Harris! Harris first rose to fame as front man for the seminal Atlanta rock band Follow For Now in the late 1980s; after the band’s dissolution in 1994, Harris struck out on his own as a solo artist while also working with singer and former Arrested Development member Dionne Farris. He’s released five solo albums and an EP under his own name, as well as one album as a member of the rock trio Brand New Immortals, and he’s written and produced for a wide range of artists including Zayn, Wanda Jackson, India.Arie, and Hootie & the Blowfish.

Harris recently won an APRA AMCOS for Billions Milestone for his work on Nelly’s 2010 single “Just a Dream,” which recently surpassed one billion streams; he also co-wrote the Guy Sebastian and Lupe Fiasco collaboration “Battle Scars” in 2012, which is certified platinum by the RIAA and went nine times platinum in Australia.

With further in-studio and onstage collaborations with artists like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Santana, and more, Harris is constantly collaborating with music’s brightest lights to add his own special touch to their work.
