After spending several years reviving the time-tested tradition of the African-American string band with the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, vocalist, violinist and banjo player Rhiannon Giddens is breathing new life into early ’60s folk with her first solo effort. Her debut album, Tomorrow is My Turn, dropped this past February and showcases Giddens’ R&B-influenced interpretations of classics by Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Nina Simone alongside her own original tunes. Proceeds from her concert and VIP meet-and-greet benefit the Music Resource Center.
