Rhiannon Giddens
Presented in Collaboration with City Winery.
Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient Rhiannon Giddens’s lifelong mission is to lift up those whose contributions to American musical history have previously been erased. With her spectacular banjo and fiddle playing, passionate vocals, and perceptive songwriting, she embodies a boundless curiosity that explores untold stories and reclaims American musical traditions. As Pitchfork says, “few artists are so fearless and so ravenous in their exploration,” and Smithsonian Magazine calls her “an electrifying artist who brings alive the memories of forgotten predecessors, white and black.” Giddens and her band will center her Caramoor show on the potent songs from her newest album You’re the One.
