Rhiannon Giddens is an acclaimed musician who uses her art to excavate the past and reveal bold truths about our present. A MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, Giddens co-founded the Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops and has been nominated for six additional Grammys for her work as a soloist and collaborator. She was recently nominated for her collaboration with Francesco Turrisi, there is no Other (2019). Her latest album, They’re Calling Me Home, is a twelve-track album, recorded with Turrisi in Ireland during the recent lockdown. In the past two years alone Rhiannon Giddens has been profiled in the New Yorker, featured on multiple magazine covers, and appeared in Ken Burns’ Country Music on PBS and Samuel L. Jackson’s Epix series Enslaved, among other appearances. She received the inaugural Legacy of Americana Award at the Americana Awards & Honors, composed her first opera (with a forthcoming debut at Spoleto Festival USA), shared remote performances for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, and was named Artistic Director of the Silk Road Ensemble.
Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, Giddens’ partner in music and life, will travel from their home in Ireland to perform with her in support of their new album, “They’re Calling Me Home.” Also joining Rhiannon on stage will be Jason Sypher, a gifted bassist at home in a wide range of musical styles, as well as Giddens’ longtime touring collaborator; and multi-instrumentalist, singer, arranger, songwriter, and actor Dirk Powell, one of the most preeminent American traditional musicians of his generation. Powell has won four Grammy Awards and has been a guest on TV shows including Late Night with David Letterman, the Today Show and American Masters. He was a longtime member of the Cajun band Balfa Toujours. Powell has recorded with Rhiannon Giddens, Loretta Lynn, Irma Thomas, Tim O’Brien, Kyle Carey and Eric Clapton.
