Steel Magnolia is a country music duo that appeared on the scene in 2009. The duo consists of Meghan Linsey and her boyfriend Joshua Scott Jones. The group got their start after winning the second season of CMT’s Can You Duet. Linsey started singing in a Nashville karaoke bar, where she met Jones. They went on to form Steel Magnolia and winning Can You Duet.
Steel Magnolia has released one album so far. Their first album was Steel Magnolia – EP released in 2010. The album has 5 tracks, including their first hit single, “Keep on Lovin’ You”. This single became a hit after they were done with Can You Duet. Their single got in the Top 5 on the Billboard Country Music Chart. “Keep on Lovin’ You” was also a song in the movie Valentine’s Day and was included in the soundtrack. Steel Magnolia is working on released another album, Steel Magnolia. The album was suppose to be released in September 2010 but was pushed back until January 2011. The album will include Steel Magnolia’s latest hit single “Just by Being You (Halo and Wings)”. This single has made it to number 29 on the Billboard Country Music chart.
The duo has made some head way in the Country Music field. They have been nominated for four different country music awards so far. They were nominated for the 2010 ACM’s Top New Vocal Duo, Top Vocal Duo of the Year, and Duo Video of the Year and CMT Music Awards’ Breakthrough Video of the Year. They group has not won an award yet but I do have high hopes. I saw them in concert this last summer before Brad Paisley’s Water Tour and enjoyed listening to their music. They have a new sound and are really into the music that they sing. I can’t wait to see what they will do.
