Rhiannon Giddens: The Hidden Soundtrack of America tickets

With her spectacular banjo and fiddle playing, passionate vocals, and perceptive songwriting, Rhiannon Giddens is an instantly recognizable force in music. She is equally celebrated for her boundless curiosity and insight into the untold stories and musical traditions that shape American identity. In this performance, Giddens explores the history of early American music from the birth of the banjo in the early 1700s through its prevalence in minstrelsy and the rise of the early recording industry, tracing artistic connections from Nigeria to the piedmont of North Carolina, from the Congo to Louisiana, and beyond.
