We are the gold magnolias
The Gold Magnolias: Magnolium Aurum: A very rare species of gilded flora native to the U.S. south, but found lately in the seldom-greens of New York City, the five petals of Magnolium Aurum represent 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 sweet lyrics. All the bees are flockin' with Ryan Anselmi’s siren sax call, and the funky foundations 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 fall with more fun, provocative and above all, funky tunes for your enjoyment.

Ready to Run EP
The Mags third-release is a three song journey of epic proportions. The EP invites listeners on a mud-footin’ trip through the Gumbo of the Mississippi Delta up through the deep grape swamps of Bucharest and finally to GMAGs adopted home of New York City.
It was recorded over the course of a single day at The Creamery Studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn under the loose supervision of Quinn McCarthy. The band is joined by long-time collaborator David Caldwell-Mason on keys and reggae legend Larry McDonald on percussion.
The band has also released a socially-distanced music video to accompany Ready to Run. Produced during quarantine and featuring contributions from three different states, it’s a quirky and fun take on an already quirky and fun song.
