Tar Heel Troubadours: Rissi Palmer and Miko Marks

Join us for the final Tar Heel Troubadours concert before the museum closes for renovation*! This series is a celebration of Americana, roots, bluegrass, and traditional music performed by artists from and/or living and working in North Carolina.

A music performance at the North Carolina Museum of History is unlike any other! You’ll enjoy an intimate experience with an artist in our 300-seat venue. Every seat in the house has a fantastic view and the sound is exceptional.

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, Rissi launched her own radio show on Apple Music Country. She has toured extensively across the country, sharing stages with Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Chris Young, Charley Crockett and many more. Rissi has also made numerous national appearances. Read more about Rissi.

The Wall Street Journal has described it as a “genre and industry-defying mission.” NPR declared it a “multilayered experience.” The New York Times commended the movement as carving out a new path in country music. All tell the story of Miko Marks’ resurgence as she deftly blends country, blues, southern rock and even gospel to create a sound and experience that has literally brought every audience to its feet. This new sound along with her warm and soulful spirit catapulted her into a community of change with her doing more than breaking ground —she’s shattering it. It’s a serendipitous realization that Marks was meant to be here, at this time, in this moment, for good. Read more about Miko.

Our Tar Heel Troubadours series works to keep music accessible to our community by keeping ticket prices affordable. We hope you will join us for an unforgettable show!
