GRAMMY and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens proudly announces the launch of her first-ever festival, Biscuits & Banjos. A celebration of Black music, art and culture, it will take place from April 25-27, 2025, in downtown Durham, in her home state of North Carolina.

Today, Silkroad announces the release dates for two musical and narrative projects as part of its multi-year

GRAMMY and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens has teamed up with singer-songwriter Crys Matthews and the Resistance Revival Chorus—a collective of women and non-binary singers—for a reimagining of folk icon Peggy Seeger’s “How I Long for Peace.” Released today, the new recording is timed to coincide with tomorrow’s National Voter Registration Day. Seeger's "How I Long for Peace," originally penned over two decades ago and released in 2021, resonates deeply with its call for a more just and peaceful world.

GRAMMY and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens made her return to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage last night, performing a rousing rendition of her GRAMMY-nominated song “You Louisiana Man” featured on her widely celebrated album You’re The One. The performance is the latest in what has been a tremendous 2024 for Giddens so far. Her international tour continues with shows this week in Austin and at the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, with Newport Folk Festival confirmed for July 27.

Today, Oh Boy Records unveils Rhiannon Giddens’ stirring rendition of "The Ballad of Sally Anne,” the second track from My Black Country: The Songs of Alice Randall. The track delves into the harrowing reality of lynching in the American South, presenting a poignant narrative that challenges listeners to confront the historical atrocities often overlooked in the country music genre. My Black Country is Randall’s reclamation of the history of Black contributions to the genre, specifically hers.

For more than four decades the songwriter, New York Times best-selling author (The Wind Done Gone), and acclaimed educator Alice Randall has been one of the few Black female writers on Nashville’s Music Row, and the first to pen a #1 hit (Trisha Yearwood’s  "XXXs and OOOs"). And while she has seen her songs recorded by multiple generations of country artists - from Glen Campbell and Mo Bandy, to Marie Osmond and Yearwood - none of those artists looked like her. Until now.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, the annual celebration of the unique culture and heritage of New Orleans and Louisiana, has just unveiled its very special lineup for the 2024 Festival.
