--ABOUT THE ARTIST--
Magnolia Boulevard is a rock-n-soul powerhouse from Lexington, Kentucky, known for its vibrant blend of blues, soul, and Appalachian-influenced storytelling. Formed in 2017 by lead singer/guitarist Maggie Noelle and keyboardist Ryan Allen, the band grew from a shared vision for more intentional, fulfilling creative work. Joined by Roddy Puckett (bass), Austin Lewis (guitar), and Brandon Johnson (drums), the quintet has developed a signature sound often described as “Appalachian Soul,” marked by expressive songwriting, rich musicianship, and electrifying live performances that have earned them a reputation as a rising must-see act.
Their self-titled album, produced by acclaimed Kentucky producer Duane Lundy, showcases the band’s evolution and deep sense of purpose. Across eight tracks, Magnolia Boulevard weaves together blues, soul, rock, and reflective storytelling rooted in their Appalachian identity. As they expand to new stages and audiences along the East Coast, the band remains grounded in Kentucky’s collaborative music community, carrying forward a renewed commitment to authenticity, gratitude, and the transformative power of live music.
Sails Music Coordinator Bob Sinclair says that with Magnolia Boulevard, “Kentucky sends us their best Appalachian soul, rock ‘n’ roll band.”
