HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The Southern Miss Department of Athletics announced Tuesday the addition of band Muscadine Bloodline to its slate for the Spirit Park Live concert series this fall. The band will play prior to the football team's regular-season home finale against FIU, Saturday, Nov. 27.
This is the third act announced for this series which takes place prior to each Southern Miss home football game this fall. Muscadine Bloodline joins Adam Doleac (Sept. 11) and Drivin N Cryin (Oct. 9) as the other acts scheduled for the 2021 home schedule. All events will take place at the Southern Station stage.
"The buzz leading up to football season is growing and nothing brings people together like music and sports," said Brad Smith, Southern Miss Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations. "This is another shining example as we continue to create an elite game day experience."
Gary Stanton, a Southern Miss graduate, and, Charlie Muncaster, both natives of Mobile, Ala., started Muscadine Bloodline in early 2016.
From the first time they took stage, Nashville took notice and now, with two Billboard charting critically acclaimed EP's under their belt, it's no surprise the rest of the music world is quickly catching on to the band.
The duo's reputation for high-energy live experiences has resulted in a schedule full of shows spanning from coast to coast. Charlie's contemporary vocals complimented by Gary's harmonies and masterful guitar licks make MB a powerfully refreshing mix of talent, passion and unfiltered authenticity.
Infamously undaunted by the big stage, their sound intertwines the brash irreverence of early southern rockers with the seductive quality of 90s country love songs. Captivating hooks heard in songs like "Movin' On" and the aggressively anthemic "WD-40" stand as a testament to MB's wide ranging music-making capability. Every song and every show is a moving experience but at the same time, unmistakably Muscadine Bloodline.
More acts for the other three home games will be announced at a later time.
