about
Rhiannon Giddens
Acclaimed musician and North Carolina native Rhiannon Giddens uses her art to excavate the past and reveal bold truths about our present. A MacArthur “genius grant” recipient and two time Grammy Award-winning artist, she co-founded the Carolina Chocolate Drops, formed Our Native Daughters with three other black female banjo players to tell musical stories of historic black womanhood and survival, and has been nominated for six additional Grammys for her work as a soloist and collaborator. Giddens’s latest album, They’re Calling Me Home, is her second collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi and won the 2022 Grammy for Best Folk Album.
