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.

About Emily Nenni:

Emily Nenni and Movin’ Shoes is all about the right fit. Made in Memphis, the Nashville based singer-songwriter’s fourth full length album is as much about dancing as following the steps of understanding and respect. Emily’s songs reflect her solicitude, but are much more soulful in this setting - taking inspiration from the many impassioned performers of the region, to 60’s girl groups and honky tonk heroes.

Pairing once again with producer John James Tourville (The Deslondes), Movin’ Shoes was cut at Matt -Ross-Spang’s new Southern Grooves studio. The 13 tracks tie up nicely with added covers from Paul Simon, Delbert McClinton and Cass Elliott.

Movin’ Shoes will be released on May 1st via New West Records.
