About the Artist:
Marcella Simien, a Memphis-based singer-songwriter, accordion player, and multi-instrumentalist, and Anne Harris, a Chicago-based fiddle player, and singer-songwriter, are Magnolias—an American Roots and Folk project. Anchored deeply in their unique heritages, their sonic signature is born from a myriad of musical influences. They bring Creole, Soul, Blues, Folk, and other Roots traditions together with power, grace and ease. As two women of color, they weave their ancestral stories deep into the fabric of their music, giving a soulful voice to a perspective that encompasses not only their personal journeys but the universal connection of the human experience.
Their soul-stirring vocals and poignant, thought-provoking lyrics, along with their electrifying stage presence, takes the audience on a spell-binding, revelatory experience.
