We’re throwing a Black Music Month celebration with a side of Pride as we welcome three astounding singer-songwriters in one unforgettable in-the-round performance.
Elsie (she/her) is a country artist from Columbia, Mississippi, known for her rich vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and genre-blending sound. Drawing from country, soul, and folk influences, she creates music that is both raw and deeply personal. In 2018, she made history as the first African American and first Mississippian to win The Country Showdown, earning the title Best New Act in Country Music. After taking time away to focus on family, Elsie returned stronger than ever, recently joining Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2025 and being featured in BET’s The Future of Black Culture series.
A master of musical fusion, Rachel Maxann (she/her) seamlessly blends the soulful rhythms of blues, the heartfelt melodies of folk, and a dash of vintage Indie rock to create a sound that is uniquely her own. Her musical artistry has taken her to stages across the globe, from large crowds to intimate venues. Beyond the music, it’s the impact of it all that Maxann strives for. Its present in everything she does, from her work as a therapist and activist to the music she makes and the people she inspires along the way.
Aybil (she/her) is a singer-songwriter from Memphis, TN. When her family moved to Tulsa, OK, early in her life, she began writing about friendship and solitude to cope with the change. As a '90s baby who grew up in the church, she was listening to Gospel powerhouses alongside musicals from the '40s, '50s, and '60s, forming a unique perception of what music should be. She hopes her songs create a place of reflection, healing, and empowerment.
