Black Magnolia, a rock band out of Louisiana, is a portrait of youth striving to create a seamless evolution of vintage sound with modern ferocity - a feat they continue to accomplish with each new song recorded and every show played. The band performs with a professionalism not often seen in homegrown bands today. It is their talent, however, that keeps fans jonesing for more. The sound is unique with hints of blues and classic rock that make their inventive styling enjoyable for a wide range of music lovers. They have the look and feel of heavy music with just enough rhythm and sweet harmony to set them apart from most “rock” bands.
The music is comprised of head banging rhythms mixed with guitar solos that elevate the mood to soaring heights. These guys grab you right up out of your seat with the first note and hold on with a steely euphoric grip as they take you through an unexpected musical experience. The songs are captivating and the lyrics exude creative quality.
The lead singer and guitarist, Adam, has a hauntingly melodic voice full of grit. Shane Wesley's guitar solos featuring razor sharp notes are nothing short of riveting. Drummer Jay Wesley pounds out the hard rock beats with full energy, but it is his amazing ability to create rhythms that provide the emotional backbone in softer songs that showcases his presence. Casey Freitas' bass provides expressive rhythms that anchor the harmonic framework and keep the crowd in constant motion.
