"Memphis R&B Is Not Dead" with Trinity Adair & Phillip Bond

In early 2025, online discourse reignited a long-standing conversation about the state of the Memphis R&B scene—and, more broadly, the misconception that Memphis music exists in only one lane. The truth is far richer: Memphis is home to a dynamic spectrum of sound, from alternative to traditional genres, each brimming with artistry, identity, and cultural weight. For those who claim they can only hear one genre, they simply aren’t listening closely enough. This show sets out to change that.
At the center of this moment is Trinity Adair, a Nashville-raised singer-songwriter and recent University of Memphis Music Business graduate whose Memphis journey has been defined by passion, curiosity, and community. Trinity has already left her mark on the city—hosting the weekly radio show For the Gworlz on 91.7 FM WYXR, collaborating with a diverse roster of local artists, and contributing her talents to the historic Overton Park Shell.
With the recent debut of her vulnerable, mental-health-centered single “I’m Not Fine,” Trinity steps confidently into her next chapter, gearing up for the release of her first EP this spring. This performance not only highlights her evolution as an artist but also stands as a testament to the breadth of Memphis music today—vibrant, multifaceted, and impossible to box in.
This show doesn’t just entertain; it proves a point: Memphis music is alive, expansive, and more diverse than ever.
