Magnolia Boulevard, Madison Hughes

Magnolia Boulevard with Madison HughesIf patience is a virtue, then the current state of Magnolia Boulevard plays right into the long-held notion that sonic grandeur evolves in its own time and place --- one where the Lexington, Kentucky, rock-n-soul act is aiming to break into a national audience ready and roaring for the quintet's soaring talents. Formed in 2017 by Maggie Noelle (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Allen (keys), the band came together when other creative endeavors weren't fulfilling the artistic desires and professional expectations of what the duo were envisioning. It was time to push down the gas pedal on the possibility and potential of what Magnolia Boulevard could be, and ultimately has become --- in sonic design and in the live realm. , "rdquo" -> The sound has been described as 'Appalachian Soul,' and I really like that because of our Appalachian roots," Noelle says. , "rdquo" -> You get a taste of folk with the songwriting portion, but you also have that rock and soul foundation." Watching Noelle under the bright lights, her stage presence immediately conjures whispers in the audience, where her fiery vocal talents are compared to the likes of Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, and Grace Potter. And yet, Magnolia Boulevard remains unique and steadfast in its approach. The powerhouse group is rounded out by Roddy Puckett (bass), Austin Lewis (guitar) and Brandon Johnson (drums). With this bountiful lineup, Magnolia Boulevard has been making the rounds around Southern Appalachia and beyond, each show an opportunity to once again justify its reputation as one of the rising, , "rdquo" -> must see" rock shows anywhere in the country. Madison Hughes grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, rooted in the same coastal Southern soil that gave the world Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ray Charles, and the Allman Brothers. She started writing songs because heartbreak cracked her open and she didn't know how else to get it out. She's never been great at saying the hard things out loud. Turns out she can sing them. She moved to Nashville in 2022 and released her debut LP All That I Am in 2025, followed by the EP Desperate Man. Her songs are a mixed bag, grunge-folk one minute, country soul the next, a little blues, a little indie, whatever the feeling calls for. Mostly they're just her trying to make sense of her own life --- and hoping somewhere along the way, they make you feel a little less alone in yours. Please Note: All Sales Final.
