Rhiannon Giddens

I went to the Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi concert in Turin - Italy yesterday. The concert was simply awesome! The two played almost 2 hours of outstanding music, folk, usa, italian , irish arab with a pletora of instrument perfectly aligned !
Giddens was superb, delicate and strong with her political meaning.
The musical mutual alignement of the two artists was a triumph of melody, sentiments and strenght.
Great night ! Thank to the people of Folkclub in Turin who brought back for the second time the two in Italy.
Long life to Giddens - Turrisi.
See you in the States, whenever possible!

This show was great. I felt like we saw a show at a cool, hip museum. Her accompanist did a fantastic job explaining the history of not only some of the songs but their instruments as well. We left entertained, "full up" on great music and educated a bit.

Last time I saw Rhiannon she was coming off of The Carolina Chocolate Drops& I honestly don't think I understood the amazing vocal range she has.

Unbelievable and fantastic performance. All 3 performers were incredible. Francesco Turrisi was unbelievable on the many variants of tambourines: breaking into Smoke in the Water at one point.
Rhiannon was such an eclectic mix of styles and communication with serious messages mixed in with explanations of history.
A night to remember. Very special.

This concert was up and beyond all expectations! The band is fabulous, and I was thrilled to see Rhiannon's sister, as well as Greensboro native, Laurelyn Dossett, join her onstage. Rhiannon has so much energy, so much diversity, and her commentary on historical aspects of music was especially enlightening and educational.

We all witnessed something very special. what an amazing voice and a very talented group of musicians. it was lovely to see how much they enjoyed playing their music together. this was one of if not the best concert I have ever been to.i really hope they all come back-regularly!!!! many thanks Rhiannon & co

It was a sellout fabulous show that ended with 2 standing ovations. Could listen to her all night. The instrumentals were electrifying! She shared some of her music's historical inspirations. 3 extemely talented people. She can sing amy genre. She teased us with a little od Ethel Waters and Nina Simone.

What a great voice! Good selection of songs, cover of Odetta was outstanding. Good rapport with the audience, coukd have done with fewer seats so we could have had a bit of a dance, some of the sings were begging for a boogie. Band was excellent and a great show. Good support act as well.

It was a great show to see. She has a great voice and some good songs. I liked seeing her sister singing with her, but I still miss the Carolina Chocolate Drops. She played a lot of banjo and a little fiddle very well. I would definitely recommend seeing her if she played near.

Awesome performance at Chautauqua’s newly redone Amphitheater. Especially with this year’s theme of African-American history, which she showed with her rendition of the folk ballad For the same price. Federico Tossini was a great percussionist and pianist also.

Second time seeing her in Nashville. Amazing performances yet different,you won’t be bored by any means. When she plays the violin or banjo for fast tempo numbers she really rocks the house. Can’t wait to see her again, perhaps in her resident country of Ireland.
