Biography

“The two pack a naked pathos into a Plutonium suitcase, detonating it in slow motion as Sturgis Nikides delivers a measured and studied introduction, leading his new rhythm section into a slow and determined momentum upon which Mandy Lemons can lay her sack-o-woe. Sure, Memphis has Barbeque, Stax, and The King...but come to Memphis to see this band.” 

— C. Michael Bailey, www.allaboutjazz.com 6/5/2016

Mandy Lemons, winner of the 2015 Emissaries of Memphis Music Peoples Choice Award, and Sturgis Nikides (who recorded and toured with legendary Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer John Cale of The Velvet Underground) - also known as Low Society - are blazing new trails on the stomping grounds of Blues Roots and Americana music. Texas Blues, Memphis Rock 'N Soul and a healthy dose of New York attitude help define the sound and spirit of our music. Our recordings have received critical acclaim world-wide, including numerous Best Of lists. We have placed on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Blues & Top 50 Blues-Rock Album Charts as well as the prestigious Living Blues Magazine Top 25 Radio Chart. Sirius XM B.B. Kings Bluesville has had our music in rotation since the beginning of 2015 with our second album 'You Can't Keep A Good Woman Down', and now continuing with our third release, which we recorded in Belgium and Memphis in 2017, 'Sanctified'. 
Low Society has been on the road in the US & Europe since 2011 - we went to Europe an amazing 3 times last year alone! We've appeared at Clarksdale Mississippi's Juke Joint Festival 5 times, NYC's Howl Festival 3 times, Memphis's inaugural Bona Fide Blues Festival, Virginia's Winchester Blues House Festival, the 2012 BluesAlive Festival in the Czech Republic & Poland, Switzerlands prestigious 2015 Lucerne Blues Festival, Blues Club Leutzbeurg's 20th Anniversary Concert in Luxembourg in Nov 2017, the Rebel Rebel Film Festival in Paris in Feb 2018, Little Rock Riverfest on Memorial Day weekend, the Western Maryland Blues Festival in June, the Luxembourg Blues 'N Jazz Rallye in July. We closed 2018 with the Blues Aan Zee Festival in the Netherlands in November. 2019 turned out beautifully with festival and club bookings across the USA, and 2 full months of shows in Belgium and the Netherlands. We are currently producing our upcoming 4th album here in Memphis, scheduled for a summer 2020 release. Catch us on the road later this year - we look forward to playing for you!

“If you ask today how to bring the blues to the future: this is clearly the way. "Sanctified" is one of the albums you must hear in 2017. And Low Society are, for me, one of the most recommendable bands in the arena of blues-rock.”
— Nathan Nörgel ~ Wasser-Prawda Magazine (Germany) 6/13/2017
