The Magnolia Concert Series at Flat Rock Cinema welcomes award-winning South Carolina folk act Admiral Radio on Wednesday, December 3rd.

ABOUT ADMIRAL RADIO:
Admiral Radio, the award-winning folk/Americana act from South Carolina, is the creative partnership of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith. Named after their old wooden radio, this husband-and-wife team blends heartfelt harmonies, storytelling, and raw sincerity. Having met while waiting tables in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, their sound is straightforward yet powerful—rooted in tight vocal interplay and finely picked acoustic instruments. Inspired by the everyday, their songs explore life lessons, the quiet hustle of ordinary life, and the dogged optimism that drives it all.

Simply put, Becca and Coty aim to leave listeners better than they found them. The duo has five independently produced albums under their belt, including Good Things Take Time (2024) which has garnered critical acclaim and national radio play for tracks like "Look Back and Learn" praised by American Songwriter for its 'power to help and heal', and EP Consider Me a Lighthouse (2025) which includes songs written over the span of 6 years with a lot of buzz surrounding tracks like “Cotton Candy Sky” and “Song for Me”. For their next full-length album, the group has officially signed on with Too Fine Records, a new label out of Nashville created by longtime managers of artists like Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors, Ellie Holcomb, Judah & the Lion, and more. The project is set to begin releasing in 2026.

Known for their energetic and emotional live shows, Admiral Radio has shared stages with bluegrass legend Del McCoury, folkgrass icon Molly Tuttle, pop-rock sensation Judah & the Lion, and more. They have also earned finalist and first-place honors in prestigious songwriting competitions around the country, including Kerrville NewFolk, the MerleFest Band Competition, Cayamo Soundcheck, and the International Bluegrass Music Association's Official Songwriter Showcase. From humble beginnings to their growing buzz, Admiral Radio is redefining the folk tradition with every mile down America's backroads.
