Sasha Colette & The Magnolias

Bio:

When a soulful voice resonates through a moment, people tend to listen and remember just what it had to say. There's a band on the scene today who not only have a soulful voice to share, but have incorporated some top of the line groovers this collective city has to offer. Jose Oreta out of Morehead, Kentucky plays the upright bass with a conviction that brings the flood and Andrew Gillum (also of Morehead) shows just how bumpin' a beat can be behind any set of drums all the while Barboursville, West Virginia's Bud Carroll displays some of the most colorful guitar riffs and solos that one lovin' soul could hope to hear within it's lifetime. Fronted by Kentucky native Sasha Colette, The Magnolias are equal parts soul, skill, and stage wranglers to make their live show a fine experience to catch.

They've played across the East Coast focusing mainly on Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. With the June of 2010 release of the EP for the EP; Three Songs, No Waiting, Sasha Colette & The Magnolias have already shared bills with The Jompson Brothers, Ben Sollee, as well as a mini tour in July/August with The Fox Hunt. On the agenda for them after the full EP is released will be a tour in September and October with the 2009 Mountain Stage Newsong Contest winner Jeff Ellis as well as the famed Bud Carroll & The Southern Souls. Up until now, Colette has been considered a solo act but the past year has brought some change for her in way of additional members which has lead to full band shows that could remind one of a Neko Case show merged with tour bus jams of Tom Petty. With majority of the show being all original tunes that reflect the call of the saint's marching drum, the blues international stomp and the all night racing hell yeah, they are easily elevating to be everyone's favorite band on the calender this fall!

From songs about Truck Stops, Heartbreak (of course), Peace, Courage, Booze, Mommas and road trips, Sasha Colette & The Magnolias are recreating what a live show can free up to any audience. What is that you ask? Relief for the hungry soul.
