Kelsey Wilson a.k.a. Sir Woman describes her latest musical project as "an outlet to work through my own sh*t while touring and making music with all of the insanely talented people I get to create with. I had doubts about my own capabilities, fears about the world and my place in it."
Wilson has always felt deeply connected to funk, soul, R&B, and gospel, but had previously avoided playing in those spaces. Now, with Sir Woman, she feels as if she has finally found her voice.
"[Never Gonna Give Me Up is ] a luscious groove from its first snare fill all the way through its tambourine-conga outro, the track's titular vocal refrain is so damn easy on the ears. And with in-the-pocket vocal harmonies, progressive-soul intersections of piano and organ, plus some tasty breakdowns, Sir Woman's sense of soul reaches the summit of jazzy classiness…" — KUT & KUTX Studios
Lakeside Concert Series
Drawing inspiration from a legendary 1990 Sun Ra Arkestra performance at the same spot, Lakeside is a new genre-bending concert series showcasing today's best pop and rock acts on the scenic grounds of NCMA Winston-Salem. With a stage situated on a picturesque hillside overlooking a spring-fed lake, the landscape's natural amphitheater and wooded setting creates a concert experience unlike any other.
