#WorldPhotographyDay was yesterday but never too late to celebrate my favorite photographer, my dear friend @karencoxphoto.bsky.social. She took this photo at the Vail Dance Festival in Colorado and it captures so much!

And that’s a wrap on The Old-Time Revue’s tour! We have nothing but love for y’all. Thank you to @karencoxphoto.bsky.social for your wonderful photography.

Thank you @latimes.com. Our show tomorrow at The Hollywood Bowl is huge opportunity to continue sharing the traditional music of my ancestors, and I couldn’t be more grateful (and freaked out) to do it on such a large scale.

Alright y’all, after five years of learning and tweaking, I have finally landed on an American biscuit recipe that I can practically do in my sleep, and that produces pretty consistent results.

Radical cultural collaboration is at the heart of American music and it was on full display at the first annual Biscuits and Banjos Festival! Let’s take these lessons, community, and joy that we have created this weekend, and bring it back out into the world.

The first day of the inaugural Biscuits & Banjos Festival exceeded my wildest dreams. It was a beautiful day of community, and music, and dance and joy and laughter, and a beautiful set up for the weekend. Can’t wait for the rest! Photos: Anthony Mulcahy (Photo 1) & Karen Cox (Photos 2-4)

This is the heart of America, and we are making it happen right now. Day 2 of Biscuits & Banjos Festival filled me with more love, joy, and inspiration than I could have possible imagined. Thank you for being on this journey with us! Scroll to the last photo to see how I’m feeling right now…

'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' is finally here! 20 years of living went into this one, and I'm very proud of it. So glad Justin Robinson could join me, and that we got to showcase where it all began: North Carolina. Shop CDs & LPs now: shop.rhiannongiddens.com

Excited to share that My Music with Rhiannon Giddens is back for another season—this time from Ireland. I had the joy of talking and playing with some incredible musicians who are not only masters of their craft, but keepers of deep cultural and historical knowledge and traditions.

"A glorious collection of 18 of the duo's favourite North Carolina tunes." —Songlines' 'Reasons to Be Cheerful' on @rhiannongiddens.bsky.social & Justin Robinson's upcoming album, 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' Listen/pre-order: giddensrobinson.lnk.to/BlackbirdCrow

Last year I spent three days in North Carolina with fellow Carolina Chocolate Drops member Justin Robinson to record 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow,' an album of North Carolina fiddle and banjo music, which is now coming out April 18 on @nonesuch.com.
