Rhiannon Giddens’ lifelong mission is to lift up people of color whose contributions to American musical history have previously been erased, and to work toward a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins. A graduate of Oberlin Conservatory, where she studied opera, Giddens has been Grammy-nominated six times, and won once, for her work with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a group she co-founded. She has appeared on Austin City Limits, and is featured in Ken Burns’ Country Music series.
