I was fortunate enough to see the Carolina Chocolate Drops last performance of 2011. They were FANTASTIC.
If you don't know who they are, they are a group of young African American musicians who play and perform in the tradition of old time music. They are passionate about the music and it's history. Their name is even in honor of the Tennessee Chocolate Drops, three black brothers Howard, Martin and Bogan Armstrong, who lit up the music scene in the 1930’s.
The group is extremely talented and play many instruments while infusing old time music with at times bluegrass, r&b, hip hop and gaelic sounds.
I enjoy old time music and I encourage you to visit their website-carolinachocolatedrops.com and check out Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens and Hubby Jenkins. :)
