  • Summary

  • The last time I had the privilege of interviewing Rhiannon Giddens it was in 2017 at Edmonton Folk Fest.

    In the next five years, she became a World star.

    For example:

    In October 2017, Giddens was named one of the 2017 class of MacArthur "Genius" Fellows.

    In 2017 and 2018, Giddens appeared in the fifth and sixth seasons of the CMT's

    In January 2018, Giddens co-produced Songs of Our Native Daughters for Smithsonian Folkways.

    in early 2018, the Nashville Ballet announced that Rhiannon Giddens has been commissioned to write the music for Lucy Negro, Redux. In 2019, Giddens released two studio albums: Songs of Our Native Daughters and There Is No Other with Italian musician Francesco Turrisi

    Giddens earned an Honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro for her lasting impact on the UNCG community and her work in music. In 2023, she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music from Princeton University

    In other words, the last 5-6 years have been a delightful blur.

    Thus my first question was …what do you remember of the last 5 years?

    If anyone is going to change music in her lifetime – it's Rhiannon Giddens!!

    Enjoy.
