SUMMARY:Songstories Live at Boxyard RTP
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nSongstories Live is an intimate gathering of artists and listeners. Come out to Boxyard RTP’s edgy and spacious Pavilion and tune in to three singer-songwriters who will share original songs and the stories behind them, each backed by some of the best session artists in the area. It’s going to be an inspiring night.\nThe show starts at 6:00 p.m. free to walk-in.\n\n\n\nThis month’s lineup:\nCJ Monet ( https://www.cjmonet.com/ )\n\nCJ Monét is a rising R&B artist from Graham, North Carolina, who blends contemporary R&B with the timeless influences of Motown, funk, jazz, rock, alternative, and indie music. Inspired by legendary artists such as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Erykah Badu, Stevie Nicks, and Carole King, she creates music that feels both retro and new, combining soulful melodies, groovy rhythms, and emotionally vulnerable storytelling. Her songs explore love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and the complexities of everyday life. As an artist committed to authenticity, CJ continues to push the boundaries of modern R&B, crafting a sound that is uniquely her own, honoring her roots and pushing the needle forward.\nFollow her socials on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/cj.monet/ ) and Spotify ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/4xM7Uym0AUxCTAGTCBn2re?si=sqqIWkFfRNqD7hLWrLT79w&nd=1&dlsi=d367a09e42184570 ).\n\nJosh Branch ( https://www.joshbranchmusic.com/ )\n\nJosh Branch is a local singer songwriter focused on intentional lyrics that are meaningful. Rock melodies meeting a steady country vibe. He takes inspiration from bands like Hootie & The Blowfish, Old Dominion, and 3 doors down. Vocals are subpar, but you can make that call for yourself 😉. Be ready to enjoy a good time, that’s for sure.\n\nFollow his socials on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/jbranch.music/ ) and Spotify ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/0hxiCfae6DPij7QOVycJiE?si=DPn9mH-1T8Oxub0wbBsucg&nd=1&dlsi=a327635df2bf4d9a ).\n\nCam Cokas ( https://camcokas.com/ )\n\nCam Cokas is a Raleigh born musician, and songwriter inspired heavily by the traditions of singer-instrumentalists such as David Bowie, Donny Hathaway & Prince, while also leaning heavily into modern production habits. His forthcoming project is a step up from his last LP “Sketches”, which was a showcase of songwriting ability with simple production to accompany. “Colosseum,” the new record, earned its title from his interest in ancient mythology and the experience of fighting for what you believe in, in the modern world. The album is steeped in electronic, hip-hop and alternative roots while incorporating musicianship for it to be played live with a band and not solely with backing tracks. It will be released most likely later this year with a proper rollout. In the meantime, Cam has been developing and producing for other artists with his production partner in NYC, letting his personal music breathe for a little bit.\nFollow his socials on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/camcokas/ ) and Spotify ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/5tLGHWFRX1WY6xi27jTFWt?si=erJ4tDtzTtaeAWkw7jdZfw&nd=1&dlsi=8812803750874f8f ).\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur musical performances happen under our covered Pavilion on the BeatBox stage–weather response subject to safety conditions onstage.
