In <i><strong>Rissi Palmer: Still Here</strong>,</i> directed by Dilsey Davis, Grammy–nominated country artist and radio host Rissi Palmer redefines success as she works on her latest album while uplifting other artists of color in the Americana genres.</p><blockquote>
<p>“No one becomes an ‘American Master’ overnight, and of the idea behind <i><strong>In the Making </strong></i>is to take a behind-the-scenes look at the creative processes of artists who are on their way to becoming masters in their field,” said Michael Kantor, Executive Producer for <i><strong>American Masters</strong></i>. “We’re always seeking a broad and diverse national audience – whether on television or online – and are thrilled to continue our longstanding and collaborative partnership with Firelight Media. Whenever we can, we team up with public media’s National Multicultural Alliance organizations, and in this case Black Public Media deserves a big shout-out for their support.”</p>
<p>“With the second season of <i><strong>In the Making, </strong></i>we’re thrilled to continue our long and fruitful relationship with our great partners at <i><strong>American Masters</strong></i>,” said Firelight Media Co-Founder Stanley Nelson. “The <i><strong>In the Making </strong></i>series, which centers on emerging and established artists who are reflecting, shaping, and creating culture today, beautifully advances Firelight’s mission of supporting communities of color both behind and in front of the camera.”</p>
<p>“As an organization that uplifts Black stories and Black storytellers, we are immensely proud to be supporters of films by Black women directors—Christine Turner and Dilsey Davis—about Black women who are emerging masters—J’Nai Bridges and Rissi Palmer,” says Denise Greene, director of programs for Black Public Media.</p>

Building on established scholarship, this book examines contemporary issues in country music through feminist, intersectional, and post-colonialist theories, as well as other intertextual and cultural lenses. The authors pose questions about diversity, representation, and identity as they relate to larger concepts of artist and fan communities, stylistic considerations of the genre, and modes of production from a twenty-first century perspective. Addressing and challenging the received narrative about country music culture, this collection delves into the gaps that are inherent in existing approaches that privileged biography and historiography and expands new areas of inquiry relating to contemporary country music identity and culture. Edited by <strong>Dr. Jada Watson and Paula J. Bishop</strong>, the book features chapters and pieces written by <strong>Alice Randall, Kris McCusker, Rachel Skaggs, Sophia Enriquez, Stephanie Vander Wel, Phoebe Hughes, Jocelyn Neal, Leigh H. Edwards, Janet Aspley, Nancy Riley, Kristina Jacobsen, Nadine Hubbs, Rebekah Hutten, Tracey E.W. Laird, and Rissi Palmer. </strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">“Some of the most groundbreaking stuff that’s happened in country music has happened because of women,” says the Durham musician Rissi Palmer, who also hosts the Apple Radio show Color Me Country. Palmer is also featured in the exhibition. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Much of that history-making has taken place along gendered lines, but a growing number of artists, Palmer among them, have pushed for greater racial inclusivity as well. After all, many of the songs deemed “country” in the early 20th century were popular hymns, spirituals, and folk tunes that circulated in sundry communities."</p>

Moss in support of her new book, Her Country<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/161210/0dd2b5b90ec2a58011cd15e34eecea4da6d2bc37/original/41wyyxrn-xl-sy346.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>After a decade immersed in Nashville's country music scene, Marissa R. Moss has seen firsthand how pervasive gender inequalities affect female artists from all corners of the genre. Now, she's helping take control of the narrative — literally — with her new book, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be. </p>
<p>Moss follows the trajectories of Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Mickey Guyton as touch points for country's current climate, as all three have navigated the choppy waters of radio bias and helped broaden the genre's limitations. </p>
<p>Rissi is among several artists interviewed for this book.

<p>Of Billboard’s 2019 top 50 country artists, only one was black. Four were women. None of them were black women. Now, with country music under the spotlight as it never has been before, is it finally moving beyond its white, male image? </p>
<p>Americana-folk singer Lady Nade explores the roots of country and Americana and its debt to black music, and reflects on her own place in a genre that is only now starting to confront its history.

<p>When I became an independent artist 11 years ago, it took me a moment to get over the idea that I was going to be “saved”, that a record company/manager/agent/publisher was going to swoop in, take the art I was making, and elevate it to the next level. It was a total let down when my white knight never arrived, when I realized that no one was coming to save me. What did happen was I discovered other avenues to market and brand myself that were rewarding and lucrative…all while maintaining ownership of my product. In other words…I learned to save myself. </p>
<p>Seeds came from my belief that the new music business model will evolve from the need for a “middle man” (i.e. a record label, booking agents, etc.), to artists choosing and creating their own destinies, partnering with larger entities only when they’ve reached the limits of their own power. Artists will learn the various alternate routes directly from the music industry professionals who are doing this work every day. When you give the knowledge directly to the people, they will be able to do for themselves, thus demystifying the process. </p>
<p>Seeds is a monthly, 90 minute presentation, hosted by yours truly, where music business professionals from the publishing, distribution, management, and booking agent world will speak directly to artists about the how to of getting their music exposed. There will be time for Q&A as well as an opportunity to present your work directly to industry professionals for evaluation and constructive critique.</p>
<p>The first event on Sunday, June 27 at 4pm et/3pm et, will feature my dear friend and first publisher, Debbie Z and her partner Tara Shannon. Their company, The Syndicut, is a unique development program for artists and writers looking to advance their skills and establish themselves. With a special focus on education, The Syndicut empowers music creators in becoming successful entrepreneurs making a sustainable living in music. Their program acts as an incubator with continuous skill development through one-on-one personalized coaching while providing additional opportunities through the publishing company, Syndicut Music Publishing, and sister label Willow Sound Records.

<p>Singer-songwriter and <a contents="Color Me Country&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.rissipalmermusic.com/color-me-country-artist-grant-fund">Color Me Country </a>radio host, Rissi Palmer, has announced her partnership with <a contents="Kelly McCartney" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kellymccartney.com">Kelly McCartney</a> and the <a contents="Rainey Day Fund" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kellymccartney.com/project/rainey/">Rainey Day Fund</a> to create the <a contents="Color Me Country Artist Fund" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.rissipalmermusic.com/color-me-country-artist-grant-fund">Color Me Country Artist Fund</a> to provide financial support to underrepresented voices of BIPOC artists in country music. The Rainey Day Fund was created by McCartney to assist BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and disabled artists, as well as others who add to the rich fabric of roots music. With a similar mission, Palmer recognized a real problem in the country music industry. As a result, Color Me Country was born to bring Black, Indigenous, and Latinx histories of country music to the forefront that for too long have lived outside the spotlight and off mainstream airwaves. </p>
<p>"As an artist, I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I know what it's like to have to choose between eating and paying rent, to work a 9-to-5, then pull an all-nighter in the studio to get closer to the dream of being a self-sustaining musician," says Palmer. "Any success I have achieved has been because of the kindness of others and their belief in me, and I want to pay it forward. The Color Me Country Artist Fund will be an extension of the work I do with my radio show to further the careers of artists of color in the country music space," Palmer continues. "I don't want anyone's dreams deferred because of financial hardships. 100% of the funds will go to artists in need. I thank Kelly McCartney and the Rainey Day Fund for planting the seed." </p>
<p>Palmer launched her Color Me Country radio show in August of this year. Some of her guests have included Miko Marks, Crystal Shawanda, Kamara Thomas, The War & Treaty, Mickey Guyton and Darius Rucker. The show airs every other Sunday on Apple Music Country at 8pET. </p>
<p>McCartney, who also hosts <a contents="Southern Craft Radio&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://music.apple.com/us/curator/southern-craft-radio-with-kelly-mccartney/1496865742">Southern Craft Radio </a>on Apple Music, is a long-standing advocate for the BIPOC music community and a clear supporter of Color Me Country from its conception. She created the Rainey Day Fund in 2018 and set out on a mission to support marginalized artists. </p>
<p>"Between our seed funding and a recent donation from Brandi Carlile's Looking Out Foundation, we have gifted grants to Yola, Birds of Chicago, Tré Burt, Joy Oladokun, Brittney Spencer, Jontavious Willis, and others, while also creating an Indigenous Music Scholarship with Folk Alliance International," McCartney says of the Rainey Day Fund. "Seeing the work that Rissi was doing in the country music space, it just made sense to create a specific Color Me Country program to support the artists on those fringes, as well. Together, we're being the change we wish to see in the music world." </p>

Summit happenings include performances, curated conversations, interactive workshops, and joyful re-imaginings of the Country-Americana canon. </p>

<p>A HUGE thank you to Michelle Lanier, Carly Jones, Come Hear NC, North Carolina State Historic Sites, and North Carolina Arts Council for including me in this moving project. Singing on the Land is a virtual music project that celebrates the stories of historic sites across North Carolina through the voices of North Carolina musicians. Developed by North Carolina State Historic Sites and Properties in partnership with the North Carolina Arts Council and Come Hear NC, each installment of the series highlights one of North Carolina’s 27 state designated historic sites. Listen and watch as James Gilmore and I perform the song ‘Barley’ standing on the land where a community witnessed tragedy and hope in the Battle of Bentonville over 150 years ago. </p>Rissi Palmertag:www.rissipalmermusic.com,2005:Post/64450792020-09-29T05:50:19-04:002020-09-29T05:50:19-04:00IBMA presents Shout & Shine showcase on Saturday, October 3<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/161210/4bbb11b2b2a7271181cda9bbe34015683d64489f/original/shout-and-shine-5-poster-9x16.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p>Shout & Shine Online will feature artists from across the genre map of roots music: Rissi Palmer, host of Apple Music Country’s brand new radio show, ‘Color Me Country‘; IBMA Momentum Award winning banjoist Tray Wellington; punk-influenced fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter Sunny War; down-home blues and old-time musician Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton; The Voice alumnus and guitar picker Stephanie Anne Johnson; and returning favorites Kaia Kater and Amythyst Kiah, who make their first appearance at Shout & Shine since playing on its debut lineup in 2016. </p>
<p>Shout & Shine Online’s roster is curated by performing musician and Decolonizing the Music Room founder and Executive Director, Brandi Waller-Pace. Shout & Shine Online will take place at 2 pm ET Saturday, October 3. Viewers will be able to tune in on BGS, or right here on Facebook, or YouTube, via PineCone’s channels, and via IBMA’s conference platform, Swapcard. </p>

<p>I had an absolute BALL talking with Hunter and Ashley. We discuss my new Apple Music Country series, “Color Me Country Radio w/ Rissi Palmer .” The show shines a light on the rich history of Black, Indigenous and Latinx people in country music, and why the success of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” inspired me to start the series. I also talk about her own experience as a black woman making country music on a major level in the 2000s. </p>
<p>We also dig into my latest album, “Revival,” which addresses issues of social justice and the pressing need to keep speaking up for equality in America. Plus, I explain the relationship between my daughters Grace and Nova, describes the ongoing influence of ‘80s television on our need for “pageantry” and explains how watching the banning of The Chicks from country radio play out over the last decade.

<p>Y'all...I have been DYING to tell you but was sworn to secrecy. I am proud to announce that my show, Color Me Country Radio w/ Rissi Palmer, will now be heard on the Apple Music Country platform on Apple Music!!! The show will air live on Sundays bi-weekly from 7-9pm EST (yes, it's 2 hours!!!). The mission is still the same: to amplify the underrepresented voices of artists of color in the Country and Americana genres and will be comprised of interviews and music from individual artists, scholars, and personalities, though this first season will focus specifically on women of color. It will be available for the EVERYONE to hear for free on the live airdate. After an episode's original airdate, it will be available for Apple Music subscribers only on demand. There will also be a playlist with all my guests' music that can be streamed. </p>
<p>A HUGE thank you to Kelly McCartney and my Apple Music team: Michael Bryan, Emily Parker, Amara Hall, Nathan Tempro, & Brian Hilton. </p>

<p>We’re proud to present Rissi Palmer as a part of Music in Your Gardens, a free eight-week online concert series showcasing nationally renowned artists who call Durham and the surrounding area home. The series shifts Duke Performances’ longtime summer series, Music in the Gardens, normally held outdoors at Sarah P. Duke Gardens on Duke’s campus, to an online format in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>
<p>On Wednesday, August 19 at 7 PM ET, we’ll premiere a new, specially recorded performance by Rissi online, free of charge, on our website and on our YouTube page. The film, pre-recorded in a socially-distanced manner, will be accompanied by a live YouTube chat with Rissi, who will answer questions from viewers. </p>
<p>Duke Performances presents Music in Your Gardens in collaboration with Duke Arts, WXDU, Sarah P. Duke Gardens, Duke Continuing Studies, and Duke Summer Session. Hospitality partners include The Palace International and Locopops.</p>

<p>I am honored that Pierce Freelon asked me to be a part of this beautiful family album. Children’s music has been a love of mine since I became a mommy; the messages that our children get are SO important. Pierce and I collaborated on the song “My Body (Body Autonomy)” (along w/ my daughter Grace and Nico Ocaña Sonic Pie Productions), a song teaching kids about consent. Added bonus: you get to hear me rap for the first time ever 🤣 Everything I’ve heard on this album is wonderful and I hope that you’ll support when it’s released on July 31.

<p> </p>
<p>Country Soul Songbook is a high-energy community celebration that spotlights alternative voices in country-soul-Americana music-- a quarterly, seasonal, Durham-centric concert series (and Potluck!) featuring local musicians, AND an online episodic documentary series highlighting artists, Durham culture, and the places (venues, restaurants, etc.) where our community gathers. </p>
<p>The larger intent of the project is to explore, discuss, and demonstrate how the country, soul, and Americana genres, and the Durham community itself, are rooted in the same history, and the same multi-race/multi-identity American soup. We want to build community bridges, and celebrate our unity-in-diversity through the irresistible power of music, food, and the good times that gather people together. </p>
<p>Our first concert will take place at North Star Church of the Arts on Sunday, November 24th, 2019. Featured artists include Kamara Thomas, Rissi Palmer, Phil Cook, Kym Register, and Shana Tucker. </p>
<p>Additional concerts will take place seasonally starting in March 2020. Each concert will feature a combination of artists' original tunes, and curated songs from the existing country-soul-Americana canon. </p>
<p>The pilot episode of the web series will complete filming in 2019 and begin airing online in Spring 2020, with regular episodes to follow.

<p>Confession: The night I found out I was pregnant with Grace, I was terrified. B and I had only been married 4 months, I had just gotten out of my record deal and was preparing to go to LA to meet some new producers and planning my next career path. How was this pregnancy going to affect my dreams? Clearly nothing was ever going to be the same... Luckily for me, it wasn't. </p>
<p>Motherhood has changed me in ways that I am so grateful for. It's not everyone's journey but I am so thankful that it has been mine... </p>

The video is available on Youtube and all digital outlets (you can click the photo above to hear and see "Seeds"). Here is an open letter I wrote to anyone curious about the message of "Seeds":</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Friends, </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>I am extremely excited and proud to present to you the short film based on my song "Seeds". I want to thank each and every person that made this happen, most importantly the director and screenwriter, Emil Gallardo. This was a labor of love from start to finish, with people volunteering their time and resources to be a part of making this film. </strong></p>
<p><strong>We wrote the song "Seeds" in 2014 after the murder of Michael Brown. I felt powerless and wanted to say something to uplift and empower everyone...including myself. The song is based on the words of Greek Poet Dinos Christianopoulos, "They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds."</strong></p>
<p><strong>I am very aware that the images in this video are triggering and jarring and will evoke strong emotion...I hope they do. I hope that after watching this, you are fired up and ready to vote, to volunteer, to protest, to make change. We're sooooo past Republican and Democrat, black and white, right now, we're fighting for our decency and humanity. I truly believe that we will be judged by future generations harshly for staying silent on the issues we are facing today. Every negative action in the film has a positive reaction, meaning WE have the power to change the ugly in this world.</strong></p>
<p><strong>As always, I thank you for your support and if you feel so moved, please share this video and song with your family and friends. </strong></p>
<p><strong>God Bless you all and please make your voice heard this November 6 and every day after...</strong></p>
<p><strong>With love,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rissi</strong></p>Rissi Palmertag:www.rissipalmermusic.com,2005:Post/54062742018-08-29T13:48:33-04:002018-09-12T11:01:24-04:00Rissi Palmer one of six acts to headline Living Room Festival in March 2019 in Tampa, FL!!!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/161210/c56413bcc7e233192f185de2291d4b986072def5/original/living-room-festival.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /><span class="font_large">The Living Room Festival announced their 2019 lineup and Rissi Palmer was chosen as one of six artists to headline!!!

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large">Attention San Jose friends: I will be in town shooting a video for my song Seeds with film maker Emil Gallardo on Saturday, August 18. As you may or may not know, Seeds was written to empower us to fight for social justice and recognize how powerful we are when we fight together rather than against each other. This short film/video is a collaboration between Emil and I to motivate people to get out and vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

<p style="text-align: center;">"Thanks to his passionate delivery and gift for interpretation, Owens successfully proves that the songs of Johnny Cash belong every bit in the soul canon as they do in country." - Joseph Hudak, <em>Rolling Stone Magazine</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p>A year ago, I got a phone call to come sing on a project that bridges the gap between Country and Soul music...and I immediately said "YES!!!". Brian Owens brought together some incredible musicians and singers to perform song from an iconic American artist, Johnny Cash, and I'm honored to have been among them. It's authentic, soulful, and a beautiful tribute to a great artist. <em>Soul of Cash</em> features "Ring of Fire", "Folsom Prison", and an original song written by myself and Brian called "Soul in My Country".

A dear friend suggested I combine my love of children and current events and she sparked something in me. I thought, If we as adults can't wrap our minds around what's happening, imagine how confusing it must be for children? The result is this blog, <a contents="WeAreSeeds.net" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://weareseeds.net">WeAreSeeds.net</a>, focused on "raising happy, healthy, socially conscious, intellectual, and spiritually strong children in the 'Post-Truth' Resistance Era". The name was inspired by my upcoming album, Seeds, and a proverb that states: “They tried to cut us down, they didn’t know we were seeds.” I will feature articles, videos, quotes, and cartoons aimed at how to equip our children for the very adult social issues they face these days. I hope that you'll visit, find things that are helpful, and even contribute to the content on the page. May many conversations be started and hearts and minds changed because of content of this blog...</p>

<p>I pray love, peace, and understanding for us all,</p>

It's been an incredible ride since then. I got to work with some of the best in the business and life. I found my voice and place in this industry as an executive producer, artist, singer, and a woman. I overcame the fear of releasing independently. The project has been featured in such publications as <a contents="Rolling Stone" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/rissi-palmer-on-soulful-comeback-its-scary-and-empowering-20150625">Rolling Stone</a>, <a contents="People Magazine" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.rissipalmermusic.com/press/blog/rissi-featured-in-the-september-7-issue-of-people-magazine">People Magazine</a>, and <a contents="Rolling Out Magazine" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://rollingout.com/2015/11/25/musics-rissi-palmer-is-more-than-just-a-country-girl/">Rolling Out Magazine</a>. I was interviewed by <a contents="Tavis Smiley" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/tavissmiley/interviews/singer-rissi-palmer/">Tavis Smiley</a> and even <a contents="Perez Hilton" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://perezhilton.com/2015-06-22-rissi-palmer-sweet-sweet-lovin#.VZAdcu1Viko">Perez Hilton</a> sang its praises!!! Not too shabby for Team Little Engine that Could aka God is my Agent!!! </p>
<p>I can't say thank you enough for making this all possible for me. Your contributions and faith sustained me then and keep me going today. I will be shooting a video for "Summerville" in the next couple weeks and I am excited to say that I am in the process of creating two new projects, a follow up to <em>The Back Porch Sessions </em>called <em>Revival</em> and a children's lullaby project called <em>Seeds</em>. I'll keep you posted on their progress and eventual release. </p>
<p>Thank you all again, so very much!!! Happy Anniversary!!! </p>
