WILD MAGNOLIA is a group of musicians that enjoys taking traditional tunes and making them their own.
They play Bluegrass (with some folk and Old Time thrown in), and have served as the house band at HandCraftNYC and had spring residencies at The Bonnie. They have played many weddings and events, including Woodstock Poland. They're also pretty fun folks to hang with!

October 16, 2022We booked Wild Magnolia to play our cocktail hour and we were so, so glad we did. The band was so easy to communicate with from the start, showed up early, and was so great and easy to work with. They did an amazing job, and I only wish we had booked them to play longer than the cocktail hour.

June 27, 2022I worked with Wild Magnolia to perform during our outdoor dinner welcome reception for 150 people and they were the perfect addition. Great communication, great music and very self sufficient; they did a fantastic job all around. I am thankful for their addition to our event and have received several compliments on their performance. Thank you Wild Magnolia!

You can expect us to arrive early and be set up for a prompt start time. We sing a variety of songs as well as traditional instrumental tunes. We take turns singing solos which adds to the variety of sound. We have a lot of fun doing what we do, so expect lots of jamming/improvisational solos on the tunes we play. We can also learn songs upon request- just let us know!
We are a group of artists hailing from The Bronx, Alabama, Connecticut, Poland, and Japan and coming together to create music in the Bluegrass/Acoustic style. Our various musical backgrounds that include Jazz, Rock, Blues, and Latin music help to bring a fresh spin to traditional tunes.
We will have a mixing board and all of the equipment we need, but prefer to plug into the sound system at the venue. We need enough room for 6 people with instruments and microphones, but we can still fit into tight spaces if we have a heads-up. We're also flexible, and can scale down or go completely acoustic if needed.
