Set to be released on May 6, 2022, Magnolia Stroll will feature compositions from band members Erika Lewis, Shaye Cohn, Robin Rapuzzi, Barnabus Jones, Craig Flory, and Max Bien-Kahn. Magnolia Stroll is an ode to all the musicians, alive and dead who have nurtured and inspired them along their journey, as well as to the city of New Orleans and the neighborhoods that took them under their wings and continue to do so.

Tony Galbreath – "Keep Thriving" – Independent
This is a song that can stimulate your mind and body to enable you to face anything that comes your way! The song opens with a catchy melody on keyboards with a funky groove underneath along with haunting electric guitar colorings. A synthesizer lead line drops the song off into a verse with a half time feel, letting the saxophone take over with a soulful melody containing peeks, valleys, and leading back into the hook of the song with the sax riding on top. The 2nd verse continues soulfully with a short interlude with the synthesizer first, another with the bass guitar, and drums building up to a drop off into a conversation between a sax section and solo sax. Solo sax restates the hook with the synthesizer and colorful orchestration while adding screaming altissimo notes in improvisation during the remainder of the song with a short riff before the song ends. The song presents a soulful melody and funky Groove that stimulates your mind and body preparing you for anything coming your way.
