Bonnie Stewart

Magnolia, the debut EP from Bonnie Stewart, introduces a lyric-driven singer/songwriter whose music bridges the gap between Americana's past and present. It's an ethereal sound rooted in the influence of her parents' timeless record collection — including Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark, and other classic craftsmen — with arrangements whose lush, atmospheric sweep nods to the modern day. Gluing that mix together are Stewart's aching vocals and sharply-written insights of life, love, and lingering memories we all carry with us.

In a town built upon tradition, Bonnie Stewart has created a sound that blends the classic with the contemporary. This is atmospheric Americana at its best, laced with unexpected flourishes that pair beautifully with the songs' melodic foundation.

"When I listen to music, I always listen to the lyrics first," she explains. "At the end of the day, if I strip back all of the production of my songs, can I sit and play the song alone, and it still means something? That's always been my goal. We accomplished a visual world and an aesthetic with this EP, but at the end of the day, the songs stand alone."

With Magnolia, Stewart's sound is in full bloom.
