Jack The Songman is a refreshing new act from North Carolina determined to show you a good time straight from the heart. The man behind the song, Jack Carmichael, has been making music in Chapel Hill since he was in high school. As Jack The Songman, he writes songs with a funky, classic pop sound that feels familiar but sincere. At the heart of every Songman song, you’ll find honest and straightforward lyrics about love and friendship.
A lifelong member of bands, choirs, and a cappella groups, Jack began to focus on creating a solo project when the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic forced him into a period of introspection and songwriting. As soon as people could safely gather again, Jack put together an ensemble of lifelong friends and collaborators (affectionately named “The Songman Band”) to flesh out his book of newly-written songs. The outcome is a genre-melding, piano-driven sonic identity that weaves together elements of yacht rock, funk, and power pop while calling to mind musical forces such as Michael McDonald and Ben Folds.
Jack The Songman’s forthcoming debut album “Love Songs and Other Songs” comes on the heels of his marriage to his high school sweetheart. The tracklist navigates through different stages and flavors of a romantic relationship, from the high-energy, horn line forward bop “No Plans” to the soothing and reassuring ballad “Get By”. As groovy as it is heartfelt, Jack The Songman’s first album is an exposition on joy, warmth, and endearment.

Giovanna Diora is an artist at heart. Between photography, dance, piano, and now music production, she’s relentless in finding new ways to express herself.
Born into a Puerto Rican-Italian family in NYC before moving to North Carolina, Giovanna was immersed in different cultures from a young age. Her early influences of disco, salsa, reggaeton, and RnB sparked a desire to genre-bend once she began writing songs of her own. Giovanna’s current inspirations include KAYTRANADA, Amber Mark, Jorja Smith, and LION BABE.
In 2023, Giovanna released her debut single, “Poolside”, experimenting with a house pop sound.

Each performance is a gateway to an emotional landscape where heartfelt melodies and eloquent narratives seamlessly entwine, resonating deep within the core of one’s being. Rooted in the musically diverse landscape of North Carolina, Fox emerges as a master craftsman of lyrics, weaving songs that stir even the most stoic of spirits.
From his early musical explorations with the acclaimed folk band Love & Valor, Jesse embarked on a journey to define his voice as a singular singer-songwriter. Guided by the echoes of the past, he channels the timeless resonance of songsmiths like Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Concurrently, he embraces the sonic tapestry of modern troubadours like The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers, and The Civil Wars. The result is an enchanting fusion of Americana, folk, and deeply emotive ballads.
