Rooted and trained in the tradition of old-time African American string bands music from the South, the Carolina Chocolate Drops are a delectable treat. With their own distinctive style, this boldly dynamic quartet has been climbing the charts since forming in 2005. Just last year they won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album for Genuine Negro Jig. Band member Rhiannon Giddens explains their authentic approach best by describing, “Tradition is a guide, not a jailer.” This is bound to be an evening of rip-roaring fun. Celebrating their new cd on Nonesuch and produced by Buddy Miller.
