YORK, SC – Showcasing the unique cultural influences of the Carolina Piedmont’s musical heritage, the 2016 Southern Sound Series presents:
Rhiannon Giddens:
Ms. Giddens’ escalating success includes various collaborative musical projects that have set her on course as a contemporary showstopper with a powerhouse voice. Giddens has performed at the McCelvey Center twice before with the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops. Giddens returns in honor of Black History month with guitar-playing songwriter Bhi Bhiman and cellist Leyla McCalla to lead the new “Swimming in Dark Waters: Other Voices of the American Experience” tour. A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Giddens attended the Oberlin Conservatory of Music where she performed as a lyric coloratura soprano. In February 2015, Giddens released her debut solo album, “Tomorrow is My Turn.”
