Led by singer/songwriter Mark Utley, Cincinnati, Ohio's MAGNOLIA MOUNTAIN embraces and explores "The Midwestern Thing" in a big-tent-Americana juggernaut that draws from rock, southern soul, folk, country, blues, and rockabilly. But no matter where they take it, "they have the rare ability to inhabit any branch of Roots music and still sound unmistakably like Magnolia Mountain." (Brian Baker, CityBeat).
