Join us this summer for a music series! This week we are going to be listening to the music of the artist Rhiannon Giddens. I encourage you to listen to the music below before the meeting. And please look up more about the artist so that you can share what you have found with the group.
Here are links and more information gathered by a NoVES member and fan of Giddens. Please note that this PDF contains links to several songs that have been recommended. Rhiannon Giddens.pdf
Here are more samplings of her music. We will listen to a few songs during the meeting, but I encourage others to listen to more that we might explore together! Here is a TED talk where she highlights music that speaks of our history. Lousianna Man a live performance where she plays banjo
