A two-time GRAMMY Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning singer and instrumentalist, MacArthur ?Genius? grant recipient, 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.

I'm a musician and a lover of music in my late 70s, I've been to the Newport Folk Festival and NOLA Jazzfest. I've listened to Muddy Waters in blues clubs, Jimi Hendrix and Joplin on the big state, Bonnie Raitt and Brandi Carlisle close up, Mavis Staples, Habib Koite and Toumani Diabate. This was the best show I've experienced in my life. The venue, the live sound- both fabulous, but more than that Rhiannon Giddens' consummate musicianship and deeply moving performance, the outstanding virtuosity and teamwork of her band- both as individuals and together, the variety of music, the clear shining joy of the band as a team, and her SINGING. I feel like a bell that has been rung and will ring for a long time.

Rhiannon Giddens Biography
I started singing at an ungodly age, standing in my crib and warbling at passing family members. I didn't really think of it as a career until I went to the School of Science and Math and realized that I never wanted to do another algorithm. So I went to Oberlin Conservatory and did the whole opera/recital thing, burned out and discovered the banjo! The rest is history.
