Rissi Palmer, who describes her musical style as “Southern Soul,” has received widespread media attention in national publications including Ebony, Parade, People, Newsweek, Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal and more. She has performed on the CBS Early Show, CNN, The Tavis Smiley Show, Oprah & Friends, at the White House, Lincoln Center, and the Grand Ole Opry. Rissi has also shared the stage with such notable artists as Charley Crockett, Chris Young, Taylor Swift and The Eagles, to name a few. And, on top of all that, she made music history in 2007 with the release of her Top 40 debut single, “Country Girl,” becoming the first African-American woman to chart a country song since 1987. 

Since the release of her nationally distributed debut album, Rissi has released two albums on her own indie label Baldilocks LLC, including the children’s album Best Day Ever and her latest critically acclaimed EP, The Back Porch Sessions. She is currently working on a new album scheduled for release in 2019. 

Keenan Jenkins’ musical career began during his Ph.D. studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he played open mics and local showcases between long days on the third floor of the psychology building. By the time he’d finished his degree, drained and discontent, his musical moonlighting had meanwhile bloomed in full color. He took the cue and dove headfirst into the rich music scene in Carrboro, NC. 

Jenkins now performs as XOXOK, crafting atmospheric soul music that is conceived on the fretboard, cultivated at the microphone, and cradled in headphones. The guitar and vocal influences are far-flung, but cohesive—see Jeff Buckley, Moses Sumney, and Anna Calvi, among others. His live performance is a model of intimacy and presence; armed with “sweet, ringing vocals” (Queen City Nerve), XOXOK delivers impassioned songs with unabashed conviction. 

XOXOK’s debut EP Worthy is both a lush soundscape and an exercise in growth. On the opening track, “Nancy, M.D.”, he declares, “I need you / more than your patients will ever need you as their medic”. However, by the final song (the title track, “Worthy”), he has changed his tune: “I don’t need you to love me / I just want to be worthy”. 

It’s time again for what is always one of our most anticipated trunk shows of the season: Kinross Cashmere! Molly Hurley joins us with an in depth look at the fall collection. As always, gorgeous sweater and coat choices abound in a stunning array of colors. This show is always exciting! The Laundress will also be on hand to show you how to use their plant-based laundry products to care for your garments and your home.

We are happy to announce the opening of 2019-2020 choral season with a splash –  our free half-day camp and music workshopon Saturday, August 24, 2019.  

Our North Carolina Boys Choir and Girls Choir Half-Day Camp and Music Workshop is open to  public (all children in our community between 7 and 14 years of age).

When:

• Saturday, August 24, 2019; 9 AM – 12 PM (Free)

Where:

• 1712 Willow Dr., Chapel Hill NC 27514.  (Corner of 15-501 and Willow Dr.)  We rent a choir space  at the Fellowship Hall at Binkley Memorial Baptist Church for the Choirs’ rehearsals and camps.

The camp requirements are simple:

• Open to all Triangle area boys and girls (7-14 years old).
• No prior singing experience is needed.
• Love of singing and a wish to learn classic vocal and performance techniques.
• And (importantly!) a desire to have fun with other boys and girls while learning great music!

What:

• We have professional vocal training, music theory introduction and lots of fun activities planned for each day.
• Half-Day Camp’s Duration is from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM.
• Snacks and Water are provided to all camp participants at no cost.
• The added bonus is that participation in one of our day camps supplants/ takes place in lieu of a formal choir audition! We listen to your kids’ voices in a fun, low key camp environment among the group of their peers.  Children do not realize that in addition to having a good time at the camp, they are being auditioned too.  In our experience, this camp-based “audition replacement” works very well for shy kids.

How:

• Please, fill out a short pre-registration form for August 24 music day camp on ncboyschoir.org, so we could make appropriate logistical arrangements for our campers.
• A slightly longer registration paperwork will be available at check-in on August 24, and in the email correspondence we will send you shortly before the start of the August 24 camp.  We, at the North Carolina Boys Choir and Girls Choir, look forward to seeing you soon!

All are welcome!
