- Once referred to as a ‘performing historian’ Rhiannon Giddens is a musician from Greensboro, North Carolina whose career has ranged from folk to country, blues to gospel, opera to R&B. Her old-time string band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops have received 6 Grammy nominations, winning in 2010 for their album Genuine Negro Jig.
In 2017 Rhiannon received a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant for ‘reclaiming African American contributions to folk and country music and bringing to light new connections between music from the past and the present’.
At Ireland’s Edge, she speaks to music journalist Jim Carroll about race, the influence and appropriation of African-American music, and cross-cultural collaboration, all through the story of the banjo in the United States.
You can listen to Rhiannon + Jim's discussion in podcast format on the brand new Ireland's Edge - The Podcast series: shows.acast.com/irelands-edge

Beautiful lady, great artist, trail blazer - several world class streaming performances during the pandemic. Thank you.
Yes I had the pleasure of meeting her last week and couldn't agree more 💯
An excellent interview, and gifted artist.
Wonderful conversation!
Great artist AND advocate
Very informative and I see my roots and family from rural North Carolina in her conversation about how music ties us all together
Thank God, finally a sane person who understands that all elements of culture --- including music --- advance through cross-cultural collaboration, and who therefore would not attack Elvis for "cultural appropriation" for his phenomenal contribution to that very collaboration!
My mom was from kirkland GA Francis Cleo Giddens Hernandez
holy crap give that man some decaf!! if he would slow down about a 1/3rd he would be easier to listen to.
I'm here for the Irish pronunciation of her first name, lol
She often tries to make the banjo about race 😐
