Muddy Magnolias was a rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed by Jessy Wilson and Kallie North in 2014.

[1] They have played with artists including Gary Clark Jr., Grace Potter, Zac Brown Band and Kid Rock.

[5] Wilson, a Brooklyn native, came to Nashville looking for new opportunities to branch out as a singer-songwriter after having previously visited the city with her mentor John Legend, with whom she collaborated and toured as a backing vocalist.

North, originally from Beaumont, Texas, worked as a photographer before deciding to pursue a career in music.

Her photo of a juke joint piano[6] served as the impetus for the Muddy Magnolias's formation after Jessy saw it on a Music Row desk.
