The Gold Magnolias: Magnolium Aurum: A very rare species of gilded flora native to the U.S. south, but found lately amongst the evergreens and seldom-greens of New York City. Born in a hot house in Brooklyn by the name of Soul II Soul, one particular specimen has blossomed and spread it's funky aroma throughout the entire United States.

Ancient Aztec mystics believed the five petals of Magnolium Aurum represented the five pillars of funk. Let's listen to their wisdom. Songsmith Hudson Mueller and golden-throated Evan Felts lead the pollination effort with their syrupy sweet lyrics. Ryan Anselmi gets all the bees flockin' to his stamen with his siren sax call. The petals at the bottom are reserved for the funky foundation of bass-man Daniel Foose and drummer Jeff Barton.

For the past seven years, this union of southern soul soldiers has wafted their funky fragrance to audiences across the land with such hits as "Brooklyn Streets," "Southern Man" and "Dirty French Fry". Fresh off the release of their sophomore album, "Sail on Glam Dog," the GMAGS look to drop a new EP this year with more fun, provocative and above all, funky tunes for your enjoyment.

Come walk the Brooklyn streets with this classy group of Southern hustlers. Then sit back and enjoy the vibe as booties begin to shake and parties commence to popping off.
