Rissi Palmer

Rissi Palmer will be featured in the second season of PBS's documentary short series, "American Masters: In The Making," produced by American Masters and Firelight Media. The new season focuses on nine artists across a variety of disciplines whose work explores and influences American culture today. The show premieres on Friday, March 24th at 9p (ET) on PBS, pbs.org/americanmasters and the PBS app.

In "Rissi Palmer: Still Here," directed by Dilsey Davis, the Country artist and radio host is seen working on her latest album while uplifting other artists of color. As one of only five African American women to ever hit the Billboard charts in the history of Country music, Palmer continues to create a spotlight for herself and other black women.  Palmer has released albums independently and is the host of her own radio show, "Color Me Country with Rissi Palmer" on Apple Music Country, where she is working to change perceptions about people of color's involvement in Country music - both past and present.
