Rissi Palmer at the Blue Ridge Music Center

Rissi Palmer’s gift lies in reaching across all musical boundaries. While she made her mark in country music, she is equally at home in R&B music, bringing the entire spectrum of popular music to bear on music she calls “Southern Soul.” As a passionate voice for country artists of color and those who have been marginalized in mainstream country music, Palmer has helped shift the musical landscape in a positive direction and has given underrepresented communities a voice with her radio show Color Me Country with Rissi Palmer on Apple Music Country.

Martha Bassett is a native of West Virginia and is now based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has a beautiful alto-voice that radiates as she performs in a wide array of musical genres, including jazz, folk and country gospel. She is host to the Martha Bassett Show, a popular monthly radio show where she serves as band leader and curator, playing her own music and collaborating with guests.

Tickets are $20 for adults, children 12 and younger free of charge.
