Rhiannon Giddens

Ways To Subscribe

Michael Stock talks to Rhiannon Giddens before the start of her national tour ( Miami Beach Bandshell 5/2). Rhiannon is also preparing for her "Biscuits & Banjos Festival" in North Carolina and a reunion of her original band "The Carolina Chocolate Drops". Since leaving the Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon has won 2 Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, as well as a MacArthur Genius Grant, and plays the banjo.

Michael Stock's Folk and Acoustic Music has been a mainstay of the South Florida airwaves since 1981, bringing listeners the best of traditional and contemporary folk music every Sundays from 2 to 5 pm. The show's uniqueness lies in its avoidance of the trite fare so common on commercial radio, a characteristic born of Michael's affinity for the heartfelt and original songs of folk musicians and his aversion to playing the same music that is already repeated countless times daily on other stations.
