Sir The Baptist Is Gonna Be “Alright”

Written by Vocalo Radio on November 1, 2021

Chicago singer-songwriter, producer and spiritualist Sir the Baptist performed with Mys Michelle and the Thomas Singers for Chicago Public Media’s annual gala.

Part of Vocalo’s mission, as described by Vocalo content director and host of “Reclaimed Soul” Ayana Contreras, is “amplifying the musical history and future of Chicago.” Rooted in Chicago’s vibrant past, Sir the Baptist’s music and charitable work exemplify this ideal — collaborating on two Grammy-nominated records and uplifting communities nationwide through his work with Boys and Girls Clubs and hurricane relief efforts.

The performance was filmed on Sept. 30, 2021 at the Chicago Recording Company for Chicago Public Media’s annual gala, which took place on Oct. 20, 2021. The gala’s 2021 theme was “Your City, Your Story,” and highlighted Vocalo-curated musical acts, WBEZ editorial initiatives, public media personalities and more. The video was produced by Windy City Indie.
