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.
The larger intent of the project is to explore, discuss, and demonstrate how the country, soul, and Americana genres have and always will share roots and history in a multi-race/multi-identity American soup.
The organizers hope to build community bridges, and celebrate our diverse voices through the irresistible power of music, food, and the good times that gather people together.
Normally this concert wouldn’t be something you could watch from Charlotte, but the March 15th concert will be live stream only. It will be taking place from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The live feed will be on the Country Soul Songbook website (link above) during that time.
Performers include:
- Kamara Thomas
- Rissi Palmer
- Kym Register
- Phil Cook
- Libby Rodenbough (of Mipso)
They’ll be singing originals, plus the songs of:
- Odetta
- Link Wray
- Elizabeth Cotten
- Leon Bridges
- Dolly Parton
- More
On the Country Soul Songbook website you have an opportunity to donate to the project or to buy a Country Soul Songbook mug.
This public health crisis is depriving us of some great live music, but, more importantly, it’s threatening the livelihood of many musicians, so your generosity is appreciated.
