"Palmer is living in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband and their daughter and making trips back to Nashville to develop her new music — with its neo-soul-to-throwback-southern-R&B sound and down-home, confessional point-of-view — when and how she wants to. "It's a different vibe," she explains, sitting at a picnic table on the porch behind the 5 Spot. "The country's still there, because that's still a part of me. But this project is definitely more intentionally soul." - Jewly Hight
Thank you so much Jewly and Rolling Stone Country for this awesome article. You can check it out HERE.
If you missed it live last week, I had a wonderful interview with Charlie Mattos on WSM Radio in Nashville. You can check out the podcast of the interview and my live performance of "Summerville" from my new EP, The Back Porch Sessions HERE!
I have been looking forward to this show for a while now and getting this rave review has amped me up even more!!! If you are in Nashville I hope to see you at the 5 Spot tonight (Sunday, June 14) at 6pm. The cover is $10 and it's sure to be a great time!!! In the meantime, check out the review HERE...
"The Back Porch Sessions blends Rissi's love of all the musical influences throughout her life, and is a reminder of the closeness of family." - Lindsay Borders
Thank you to AXS.com for the interview!!! Check it out HERE!
"Singer-songwriter Rissi Palmer may be seen by some as an anomaly, an artist whose music is an interesting mixture of soul and country. But as we’ve written about before, the two genres have much more in common than some folks think. Storytelling and a keen sense of melody spell the best of both genres, and Rissi has plenty of both in her music."
Thank you so much to SoulTracks.com for their review of "Sweet Sweet Lovin'". Check it out HERE.
Here's a throwback performance from the studio in August 2014, when Shannon Sanders, Drew Ramsey, and I were writing and recording songs for The Back Porch Sessions. We had just written "Anything But Yours" and decided to get it on tape. Hope you enjoy!!!
