A country singing duo who took the 21st century path to break into the public eye, Steel Magnolia consists of Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones. A native of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, Linsey formed the duo with Jones, her boyfriend, whom she met while serving as a karaoke host in a Nashville bar. Linsey and Jones were contestants for the second season of the television show Can You Duet. They ended up winning the competition and using the exposure to sign with Big Machine Records, which released a debut single by the duo, "Keep on Lovin' You," in August 2009. A second single, "Just by Being You (Halo and Wings)," followed almost a year later in July 2010. In between, the duo released a self-titled EP early in 2010, followed by a slew of singles, including the digital download-only singles: "Just By Being You," "It's Christmas Time" and "Last Night Again." On January 4, 2011, Steel Magnolia was nominated for an Association Of Country Music (ACM) award in the Best New Duo Or Group category. Their self-titled debut album appeared a week later. The members of Steel Magnolia continue to tour, either as solo artists or together.
