The Buskirk-Chumley Theater is proud to present Rhiannon Giddens on Monday, October 12, 2015. Tickets are $25-$35 and will be available to BCT donors on June 10th. Tickets will go on sale to the public at 11am on June 15 and can be purchased at buskirkchumley.org, at 812-323-3020, or at the BCT Box Office and Downtown Visitors Center at 114 E. Kirkwood Ave.

Rhiannon Giddens, best known as a member of the Grammy–winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, released her debut solo, Tomorrow Is My Turn, earlier this year. This album, produced by T Bone Burnett, features a broad range of songs from genres as diverse as gospel, jazz, blues, and country, including works made famous by Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Odetta, and Nina Simone.

As a founding member of The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Giddens helped prove that old-time, fiddle and banjo-based music could be a living, breathing, ever-evolving sound. Starting with material culled from the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, the group sought to highlight the central role African Americans have played in shaping our nation’s popular music from its beginnings. Their repertoire incorporates blues, jazz and folk balladry alongside crackling string-band tunes and overlaps with Giddens’ solo work.

Giddens was also recently invited to participate in another T Bone Burnett project, Lost On The River, which was written and performed in creative collaboration by Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), and Marcus Mumford (Mumford & Sons). The artists and Burnett gathered in Capitol Studios in March 2014 to write and create music for a treasure trove of recently discovered lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967.

Cost: $35/orchestra and lower balcony, $25/upper balcony
