Touched by the spirit of Elvis on Union Avenue, Memphis singer-songwriter VICTORIA DOWDY all set for triumphant 2025

OUT now from native Memphian singer-songwriter VICTORIA DOWDY, the country-tinged new single, ‘10AM.’

Perhaps better known for her role in the Folk-Americana duo ‘Oakwalker,’ Dowdy plans to increase her music’s audience by releasing a series of solo singles throughout 2025.

A guitarist from the age of ten, Dowdy initially performed in choirs, talent shows, and amateur showcases before beginning her professional music career in late 2019, with her performances today often showcasing a mix of her love of oldies, folk, country, and modern popular music.

But also evident is that undeniable Memphis sound, the supernatural ingredient that sets the southern city well apart from the rest of the music world.  

“If you asked about the spirits and the vibe of those who have walked the streets of Memphis before me, I will say I have always been drawn to the music that came out of here even since I was toddler and knew nothing about music production and distribution or that Memphis was so heavily involved in it,” she said.

“I saw Elvis on TV as a toddler and crawled up to the screen to watch him in awe. The rich history of music made in Memphis has influenced me not only because I am a fan of what came out of Sun Studio and Stax and Hi, but also because those records and artists influenced the contemporary local musicians who I play with and have learned from over the last several years.

“Every time I play with a new group of people, whether they are opening the show for my band or I’m sitting in with theirs, I learn something new and apply it to how I write and perform, even if it is only in subtle ways. You can’t help but be affected by the people around you, and I’m thankful for that in this case.”
