About Hiss Golden Messenger:

Hiss Golden Messenger is the long-running musical project led by North Carolina-based singer, songwriter and producer M.C. Taylor. The project has evolved over the last decade into one of the most respected and celebrated in contemporary Americana, blending folk, country, soul and gospel influences with deeply introspective, poetic, and conscious songwriting. M.C. is our Artist-in-Residence during the time of this concert.

Across multiple critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated albums, Hiss Golden Messenger has become known for its warmth and emotional clarity, as well as Taylor’s ability to connect the personal and poetic with the political without losing intimacy or musical grace.

The forthcoming I’m People continues this trajectory, offering a reflective collection of songs that speaks to resilience, community, radical hopefulness and the quiet human moments that animate and illuminate the everyday. It is among M.C.’s greatest and most profound work.

Hiss Golden Messenger sits naturally alongside artists and releases that value craft, storytelling, and authenticity, and aligns well with audiences attuned to indie, folk, Americana, roots and contemporary country music.
