Magnolia Boulevard has blossomed through devastation since forming in 2017. In the beginning, front-woman Maggie Noelle played in a bluegrass band, although she’d been yearning for a creative outlet to let loose like her idols Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi. She met co-founder Ryan Allen and the vision was formed for a rock ‘n soul band tied to their Appalachian roots. Together, they pushed through the turmoil of COVID-19 that devastated the music industry, the sorrow following the death of their beloved drummer, and the joys of welcoming Maggie’s daughter into the world. Much like the band members of Magnolia Boulevard have endured the highs and lows of the past few years, so has their music. The band’s emphatic and empowering anthems of love, self-discovery, grief, and uncertainty serve as a lesson to us all about life’s unpredictable nature and how to better live in the moment so we can appreciate everything and everyone around us before they’re gone.

In the seven years since, Magnolia Boulevard has gone on to develop a close relationship with PRS Guitars Founder and CEO Paul Reed Smith (who helped to mix and master their 2024 EP Things Are Gonna Change) in addition to sharing stages with the likes of Blues Traveler, George Porter Jr., Marcus King, Neal Francis, North Mississippi Allstars, and Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. The group has also been recognized for their excellence, winning the award for “Best Rock Band” at the Lexington Music Awards in 2018 and 2019 along with taking home first prize in the “On The Rise” band competition at Floydfest, one of the east coast’s biggest music festivals, in 2018.

Alongside Ryan (keys, vocals) and Maggie, the other members include Roddy Puckett (bass, vocals), Austin Lewis (lead guitar), and Brandon Johnson (drums). They’re spending 2025 releasing a new single every month, culminating into a full-length album due out this fall.

“All I can hope is that folks can relate to each song in their own way & can feel every ounce of love that we put into them. There’s nothing more that I’d personally like to accomplish with our music than to share space for people to bask in.” – Mag
