Boasting an opera-trained voice which confidently embraces the challenges of numerous genres, Rhiannon Giddens’ focus on the past is providing a success-filled present and promising an even more exciting future. The North Carolina-born musician has made it her career-long mission to cast light on the work of artists whose contribution to American musical history has been either unceremoniously erased or simply lost in the dark corners of history... She plays Birmingham the day after her 47th birthday.
