Members of Magnolia Collective

Magnolia Collective is made up of local musicians who describe their sound as psychedelic rock fused with Southern Gothic. 

The group formed after Mimi and Rich McLaughlin befriended Daniel Snyder and secured a regular monthly gig at The Station in Carrboro. After nearly a year of playing music together alongside a cast of revolving musicians, the threesome took in drummer Jonathan Truesdale and formed Magnolia Collective. 

Host Frank Stasio discusses the balance of life and music with Mimi McLaughlin, Rich McLaughlin and Daniel Snyder of Magnolia Collective. The band also performs live in studio. 

This segment originally aired Oct. 6, 2017.
