Steel Magnolia Breaking Up?

Lydia Picknell — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:10:09 +0000

Have country music duo Steel Magnolia broken up? Their March 24th show at the Greenville, Tennessee’s Niswonger Performing Arts Center has been canceled. The venue’s director started the rumors by saying that the pair are no longer performing together as Steel Magnolia:

“It is our understanding that the duo is no longer performing together,” reports NPAC Executive Director Darrell Bryan. “We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause our patrons.”

The duo is made up of the engaged pair Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey. They first appeared on the country music scene as the winners of CMT’s “Can You Duet?” in 2009. While there has been no official confirmation of the pair breaking up either professionally or personally, Big Machine Records did tell The Boot that Steel Magnolia is no longer on their roster.

VIDEO: Reba & Tour Acts – Rolling In The Deep

Lydia Picknell — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:15:05 +0000

Adele has one of the catchiest songs of the year, and it’s found it’s way into country music. Reba McEntire brought out all her opening acts on her “All The Woman I Am Tour” to perform a group number of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep.” Watch Reba, The Band Perry, Eden’s Edge, James Otto and Steel Magnolia perform a country version of the rock/pop single:

James Otto Filling In For Steel Magnolia’s Josh

Looks like Steel Magnolia’s Meghan Linsey won’t have to worry about being a solo act for much longer. James Otto has stepped up to the plate and will fill in for her duo partner, Joshua Scott Jones, while he spends time in rehab from alcohol and substance abuse treatment. James Otto tells GACtv.com that he was excited to be able to join Meghan on select dates of Reba McEntire’s “All The Woman I Am” tour:

“When I got the call from Meg, I thought it was a great idea,” he said. “I thought our voices would blend really well. I know that our musical tastes are very similar and we’re coming from the same place. Man, who wouldn’t want to be out on tour with Reba McEntire? That was one of those things that’s a no-brainer.”

James will perform with Meghan at the October 27th tour stop in Sioux City, Iowa and again at the October 28th concert in St. Louis.

Steel Magnolia: The show must go on

Jessica Z — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:18:32 +0000

Last week, Big Machine’s Steel Magnolia band member, Josh Scott announced that he was entering rehab for Alcohol and Substance abuse. Now, Megan Lindsay, has taken to the band’s website to give the status on the rest of their shows. The duo is on tour opening for Reba McEntire.

Megan assures fans:

“Obviously with JOSH taking this time to get healthy he will not be with us, but we will still the playing the same hits you’ve heard at radio and putting on an amazing live show that might even feature some surprises.”

It should be interesting to hear how the songs will sound with just one member of the duo. We wish Josh the best in his recovery.

BREAKING: Steel Magnolia Member Enters Rehab

Joshua Jones, one half of duo Steel Magnolia, has entered rehab to battle substance abuse tonight. In a message posted to fans on their official website, Josh announced the news to enter treatment for both alcohol and substance abuse. Good luck in your battle, Josh, and we wish you the best.

To all of our fans and to those whom it may concern, God has been on my heart to announce and make public that I have entered a rehabilitation and treatment facility to address issues related to alcohol and substance abuse. Hundreds of thousands of people in the world struggle with these battles daily, therefore I am sincerely grateful for all thoughts and prayers at this very poignant juncture in my life and career. I would also like to thank my family, friends, record label and management team for being so supportive and having an active hand in my recovery process. Thank you and God bless. –Joshua Scott Jones

Meg performed a few shows on her own this week before the news, citing an illness for Joshua’s absence from the performances and several show cancellations. The group is scheduled to perform tomorrow night in Tulsa at 8 pm.

ACM Lifting Lives Putting Women & Children First

Lydia Picknell — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:41:57 +0000

The Academy of Country Music’s Lifting Lives campaign has announced the theme for its September fundraising. They’ll be focusing on “Women & Children First” and will feature web-driven videos of artists promoting awareness and artist-backed charities related to this month’s “My Cause.” This theme will focus on charitable organizations that want to improve the lives of women and children through education and support. Artists and charities highlighted this month include Thompson Square for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Steel Magnolia for Sarah’s House.

The “My Cause” campaign encourages country music artists to be vocal on camera about the causes they support and introduce their fans to their favorite organizations that they support themselves. The program raised over $25,000 for artists’ favorite charities thanks to fan-backing.
