Wooden Rings is a collaborative singer-songwriter project created by Ramah Jihan Malebranche, a Haitian-born songwriter whose music defies easy categorization: part progressive folk, part chamber rock, entirely its own thing. Born out of a period of personal upheaval in Chicago, Wooden Rings earned NPR features, Chicago Tribune praise, and a small devoted following before Ramah brought his catalog south to North Carolina in 2023. His full-length vinyl album Heliocentric, crafted with Grammy Award-winning collaborators and backed by the 3Arts Foundation, is the kind of record that rewards deep listening, and now Triangle audiences get to hear this music live for the first time.

Don’t miss Wooden Rings performing at Slim’s Dive Bar in Raleigh, NC on April 4th from 3:00-5:00 PM. Tickets are $10 at the door. This will be an intimate show, exactly the setting this music was made for. Bring your listening ears, enjoy the familiar, dive atmosphere of Slim’s.
