Country music fans have the rare opportunity to hear Steel Magnolia live Sunday at Lake Winnepesaukah.
The duo – Meghan Linsey and her fiance, Joshua Scott Jones – are playing only three concerts in this area, and Sunday is one of them. (The others are Sept. 10 in Fayetteville, Tenn., and Oct. 8 at the Foothills Festival in Maryville.)
“This is their first time in the greater Chattanooga area,” said Talley Green, spokeswoman for Lake Winnie. “They are such an amazing duo. Their voices blend so beautifully with a distinctive sound.”
Linsey was a karaoke host when she met Jones. The couple were discovered when they entered Season 2 of CMT Network’s “Can You Duet,” winning a recording contract with Big Machine Records. Their debut single “Keep on Lovin’ You,” vaulted into Billboard’s Top 10 on the Country Singles chart. Their latest single is “Last Night Again.”
