Steel Magnolia

Steele Magnolia blossomed one late night in March in Nashville’s famous, Printer’s Alley. It was a bit like magic when Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones took the stage and sang together for the first time. Who knew that a chance meeting in a karaoke bar and an impromptu performance would bloom into something so musically refreshing.

Meghan, a New Orleans native began performing at a very tender age. By the time she was 15 her love for the stage had already landed her spots opening for some of country’s biggest stars such as, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Travis Tritt, Gary Alan, Blake Shelton, and others. Since moving to Nashville in 2004 (days after graduating from high school), Meghan has grown tremendously, devoting as much time as possible to the music she loves.

Josh, a singer/songwriter/rocker hailing from Illinois also began performing very early on. After a borderline homeless stint in Los Angeles playing clubs like the Viper Room, The Knitting Factory, and the Lava Lounge, Josh decided to return to his Midwest Illinois roots and relocate in Nashville. Within a few months after moving to town he had gained the respect of hit songwriters and his single “Long Lovely Night” was picked up by program directors at Nashville’s Progressive Radio Station, Lightning 100.

Since the forming of the dynamic, singing, songwriting duo in 2006, record labels and publishers are starting to catch wind and are asking a lot of questions. Most recently the duo returned from London where they have been working with producer, Fraser T. Smith. They have also been working and writing with producer, Tommy Henriksen in Los Angeles. The sound is unique, the songs undeniable, and Steel Magnolia is poised for success.
