Foot Stompin' Fun with Fresh Grass 2014

The Carolina Chocolate Drops are leaders in the revival of the old-time black string band music of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, proudly carrying on the tradition of such musicians as Joe, Odell and Nate Thompson, Dink Roberts, John Snipes, Libba Cotten, and Emp White. The group's members honed their skills under the tutelage of octogenarian fiddler Joe Thompson, one of the last black traditional string band players alive today. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson both hail from the green hills of the North Carolina Piedmont, while Dom Flemons is native to Arizona. They have performed at festivals across the country, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, globalFEST, the National Folk Festival, and the National Jug Band Jubilee, and in 2007 recorded Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind.
