    Live on the Levee presented by Moses Auto Group

    Friday, May 29 | 6:30pm 

    Enjoy Charleston’s free, Friday-night summer concert series set to the backdrop of the Kanawha River. Food trucks and beverage vendors on site with live music by The Rumble
    Ft. Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. with special guest Float Like A Buffalo.

    The Rumble Ft. Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr.

    Fronted by Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Young Eagles Black Masking Indian tribe, the band seamlessly blends past, present, and future elements of New Orleans culture into their sound. The Rumble features an exceptional lineup of musicians: Aurélien Barnes on trumpet/percussion, José Maize Jr. on trombone, TJ Norris on bass, Ari Teitel on guitar, Andriu Yanovski on keys, and Trenton O’Neal on drums. Each member brings unique influences ranging from funk to hiphop to brass band, gospel, jazz, and classical. This results in a powerful synergy that captivates audiences with electrifying performances and call-and-response chanting rooted in Mardi Gras Indian traditions. Their music is a vibrant, authentic, and original expansion of iconic styles pioneered by groups like The Meters, Wild Magnolias, and Neville Brothers.

    Float Like A Buffalo

    Float Like a Buffalo delivers high-energy rock n’ roll, layered with funk, jam, and a bold brass section – a genre-bending live experience that gets the whole room moving

    Alana Springsteen

    A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in Country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from Alt-Pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting.

    ABOUT MAGNOLIA BOULEVARD

    Magnolia Boulevard has blossomed through devastation since forming in 2017. In the beginning, front-woman Maggie Noelle played in a bluegrass band, although she’d been yearning for a creative outlet to let loose like her idols Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi. She met co-founder Ryan Allen and the vision was formed for a rock ‘n soul band tied to their Appalachian roots. Together, they pushed through the turmoil of COVID-19 that devastated the music industry, the sorrow following the death of their beloved drummer, and the joys of welcoming Maggie’s daughter into the world. Much like the band members of Magnolia Boulevard have endured the highs and lows of the past few years, so has their music. The band’s emphatic and empowering anthems of love, self-discovery, grief, and uncertainty serve as a lesson to us all about life’s unpredictable nature and how to better live in the moment so we can appreciate everything and everyone around us before they’re gone.

    In the seven years since, Magnolia Boulevard has gone on to develop a close relationship with PRS Guitars Founder and CEO Paul Reed Smith (who helped to mix and master their 2024 EP Things Are Gonna Change) in addition to sharing stages with the likes of Blues Traveler, George Porter Jr., Marcus King, Neal Francis, North Mississippi Allstars, and Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. The group has also been recognized for their excellence, winning the award for “Best Rock Band” at the Lexington Music Awards in 2018 and 2019 along with taking home first prize in the “On The Rise” band competition at Floydfest, one of the east coast’s biggest music festivals, in 2018.

    Alongside Ryan (keys, vocals) and Maggie, the other members include Roddy Puckett (bass, vocals), Austin Lewis (lead guitar), and Brandon Johnson (drums). They’re spending 2025 releasing a new single every month, culminating into a full-length album due out this fall.

    “All I can hope is that folks can relate to each song in their own way & can feel every ounce of love that we put into them. There’s nothing more that I’d personally like to accomplish with our music than to share space for people to bask in.” – Mag
