"MAGNOLIA SONS"

I am, admittedly, a fan of throwback soul and R&B. Nick Waterhouse is a great example of someone copping an established style but continuing to make it entertaining with original tunes. Magnolia Sons falls right into that same category of creators. The influences are painfully obvious but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable to listen to. In fact, it makes it more enjoyable because you have a familiar touchstone to use as a jumping off point. So far the band has released a handful of 7?‘s and, frankly, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate format for their intentionally retro styles. - WE OWN THIS TOWN (NASHVILLE) - WE OWN THIS TOWN


"Critics' Picks"

“...a sanguine set of unflinchingly upbeat retro power-pop and greasy, maximum R&B ...bursts at its seams with life-embracing good vibes and enough infectious rhythm to inspire fevered responses to the band’s calls for foot stomps and handclaps.” - Nashville Scene

Bio

Magnolia Sons is a nostalgic rock and soul group based out of Nashville, Tennessee. They are a 11-piece supergroup composed of artists and musicians from all over the United States. Their music is a tribute to the vintage sound of classic rock and soul from the 1960's and 1970's.

In the time of the resurgence of record collections, Magnolia Sons is both a throwback and a breath of fresh air. Inspired by The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops and the Temptations, Magnolia Sons have a sound that harkens back to the sound of 60s soulsters and American Band Stand, and as a 11 piece, they definitely fit the retro profile. While many older fans will recognize the sound from their own record collections, it is new for many of their younger fans who can be found dancing along to the catchy tunes at many of Nashvilles venues. 

"The Sons pull influence from the Stax and Volt and Motown catalogs, coating it with a smooth, upbeat, groove-laden delivery, catchy horn hooks and classic four-part harmonies about heartache." - Nashville Cream
