George Pippen has released his debut EP Magnolia Nights today (Oct. 11) via Virgin Music Group.

The six-song project serves as a compelling introduction to the Indiana native’s heartfelt and cinematic version of country-rock. Among the tracks featured on the EP are “Speedin’,” which Pippen originally released in August. The track landed on Apple Music’s New In Country and Spotify’s All New Country playlists upon release, making fans excited for more.

The track listing also includes “Indiana Knows My Name,” which has accumulated nearly 400,000 views on TikTok. Pippen also shares his journey on the project with two tracks, the first being a nod to the simple life with “Silence In The Suburbs,” and “I-65,” which was the first song Pippen wrote after moving to Nashville.

Before becoming an artist, Pippen worked as a tour manager and traveled all over North America and Europe while working for a plethora of artists in various genres. After getting some encouragement from his music industry friends, Pippen began exploring his own musical side and vocal talents, unveiling a passion for songwriting. Soon after, he moved from Los Angeles to Nashville to hone his craft.

He creates his songs with fiery spirit and full-hearted emotion, drawing from one of his main influences Tom Petty, while encompassing the sounds of classic country and modern-day indie-folk. Pippen is set to release his debut album in early 2025.

Pippen will celebrate the release of Magnolia Nights throughout the rest of the year on the road, with support slots slated with Megan Moroney and David Kushner on select dates.
