MAGNOLIA JOHNSON ELECTRIC CO.
The surviving members of Magnolia Electric Co. band together with Will Johnson for a tribute to their late friend Jason Molina. The new group, Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co., will play Southeast dates in December and East Coast shows in April.
Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co. is a new musical partnership between Jason Molina’s longtime bandmates in Magnolia Electric Co. and Texas musician Will Johnson of Centro-Matic, South San Gabriel, and Jason Isbell’s band the 400 Unit. Also a prolific solo artist, Johnson’s 2025 solo album Diamond City is critically acclaimed. In 2009, he and the late Ohio songwriter released the collaborative album Molina and Johnson, a beloved and sacred work among Molina fans, which the pair never toured behind due to Molina’s struggle with alcohol use disorder.
Today, the new group performs loving, spirited, and powerful versions of songs from Molina’s Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. catalogs. As a friend and close artistic ally, Johnson is a very natural and respectful stand-in for Molina on lead vocals. Like his late friend, Johnson was born in the Midwest and raised on Southern culture and artistry; he’s one of few people who can approximate Molina’s distinct Mid-South sound and perspective in a capable way. And nearly 20 years on, the members of Magnolia Electric Co., who’ve remained friends and musical collaborators, play like a singularly connected unit driven by psychic force.
