Celebrating A Distinct Musical Form

With inspiration from early legends such as Ma Rainey, Mamie Smith, and Bessie Smith, Blue Magnolias blends the mythology of the Blues origin story with the distinct perspective of women musicians from the Delta, such as Dorothy Moore, Nelly Mack, Miss Australia ‘Honey Bee’ Jones, ‘The Duchess’ Jureesa McBride, Jewel Bass-Thomas, and Maya Kyles, in addition to women Blues musicians from around the globe as they generate and spread their own unique flavours of the Blues.
