NC Native Rhiannon Giddens Brings New Music To Charlotte

Courtesy of Rhiannon Giddens.

Rhiannon Giddens is best known as one of the founding members the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Now she’s stepped out on her own. Her debut solo album “Tomorrow Is My Turn” is a collection of songs that range from gospel to country and includes works made famous by Nina Simone, Dolly Parton, and Patsy Cline—just to name a few. She says she hopes the album will not only be enjoyable—but also an educational experience on American music.

Giddens performs tonight at the McGlohon Theater in Spirit Square.
