After a series of scene-setting early releases, newcomer George Pippen is set to share his cinematic Country-Rock EP Magnolia Nights on October 11 via Virgin Music Group. Pre-save Magnolia Nights here.
Six anthemic songs mixing Country, Rock and Indie Folk with a husky vocal and heart-driven lyrics, Magnolia Nights introduces a well-traveled singer-songwriter and emerging talent, staking his own artistic claim after life on the road as a former tour manager.
Thick with nostalgia and the soul-searching reflection of an old soul on the run, Magnolia Nights finds Pippen sharing heartland vignettes of love, adventure, and purpose – but also the loneliness of coming of age, done far away from home under dashboard lights.
Filled with dusky acoustic melodies, rolling rhythms and singalong choruses, the completed Magnolia Nights follows early releases like the hook-heavy single “Speedin',” sentimental “Indiana Knows My Name,” and grooving “Silence in the Suburbs,” as Pippen pays tribute to his own journey, and the romance of America’s asphalt frontier.
“I can’t believe I’m finally saying this, but my debut EP is dropping October 11th,” Pippen announces on socials today. “When I first got into the music business, I never expected to release my own songs, let alone an entire EP. I started out trying to manage artists, then ended up on the road as a tour manager, but somewhere along the way, this journey became my own. It’s been a long time coming, but I’m beyond grateful for the journey,” continues Pippen. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me from the start, believing in me when I wasn’t sure I could do this. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait for you all to hear what’s next. Here’s to Magnolia Nights.”
