Rhiannon Giddens LIVE on 5/2 at the Miami Beach Bandshell

Rhiannon Giddens is a founding member of the landmark Black string band Carolina Chocolate Drops, and the all-female banjo supergroup, Our Native Daughters, and current Artistic Director of the Yo-Yo Ma-founded Silkroad Ensemble.

Giddens has made a singular career out of stretching her brand of folk music, with its miles-deep historical roots and contemporary sensibilities, into just about every field imaginable.

A two-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, MacArthur Genius grant recipient, Pulitzer Prize winner, and composer of opera, ballet, and film, Giddens has centered her work around the mission of lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased, and advocating for a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins through art.
