"Far Down Far," the second single from Silkroad's upcoming album with Rhiannon Giddens, American Railroad, is out now, along with a live performance video of the song, which you can watch here. Composed by Silkroad artist and Celtic harper Maeve Gilchrist, "Far Down Far" is inspired by the jig "The Far Down Farmer," transformed by the stories and sounds of the Irish laborers who toiled over the building of the railroads.

Rhiannon Giddens has announced the launch of her first-ever festival, Biscuits & Banjos, a celebration of Black music, art, and culture to take place April 25–27, 2025, in downtown Durham, in her home state of North Carolina. The event commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Black Banjo Gathering, which launched Giddens' career and led to the formation of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who will reunite to headline the festival. A portion of both ticket sales and merchandise income will go to Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
