The Great Psychedelic Southern Jam. Blending heartfelt lyrics with bluesy guitar, hammond organ and drumming from a past era. That's the recipe for Red Magnolia's sweet, loud, heavy, groovy southern sound. Based out of Jacksonville, FL, the boys have grown up influenced by the sounds of their hometown heroes - and their performance reflects it. No tracks, real instruments... the way it's meant to be done. Anyone who's  heard that first guitar lick or just a few lines of singing realize they are in the presence of a real, bonified rock concert - the likes of which are extremely rare today. In less than one year, Red Magnolia have made "fans for life" every single time they perform. Working their way to local and surrounding city fame, while releasing original music.  Already winning the University of North Florida's Battle of the Bands, which secured them a spot at OzFest, opening up for national acts to a crowd of over five thousand faces, to playing bars from 9pm-2am and ripping fifty minute sets at venues - they are no strangers to any of it.

Freddie Caicos was born on bum island down by the Matanzas Inlet, becoming a myth before reality. This is Bluewater Country. Songs written in my head on long runs to the Gulf Stream while laying on a kill bag meant for fish in the stern of the boat. Three hours of sleep and 15 hours out on the blue to follow. 

Never leave the Island.
