RHIANNON GIDDENS




I first came across Rhiannon Giddens as the most beautiful and striking part of the Carolina Chocolate Drops ( an all too knowing name that always sat uneasily with me, way to make the liberal white man uncomfortable Rhiannon nice one!) but she always struck me as super talented and I am overjoyed to hear she has been nominated for the Legacy of Americana and Artist of The Year (again after the nomination for Carolina Chocolate Drops in 2010)at the Americana Music Honors & Awards 2019
