“If we don’t connect those dots between the struggles, we’re never going to get anywhere,” says acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Rhiannon Giddens. “That’s what music is for."

May this set of recordings bring you a moment of peace as you pause amidst the difficulties of this life. “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - —Emily Dickinson

For my part, I’m super proud of my chosen musical family (which includes blood family too!) that I have brought together in various combinations over the last 20 years - they are immensely talented and deserve all the good things.

Hey y’all! It’s hard to know how to feel somedays about the music industry, but one thing I know is that there are a lot of amazing folks working tirelessly to get music they care about out to you-

My new album is out on Friday!
