Excerpt

The Carolina Chocolate Drops, after a few months at home to welcome into the world "the newest Droplet," Rhiannon Giddens's daughter Aoife Armentha Laffan, and prepare the group's Nonesuch debut, are set to hit the road once again for a 29-date US tour, beginning this Friday at Rams Head Live in Baltimore and running through November.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops, no strangers to the road, enjoyed a few months at home this spring and summer as band member Rhiannon Giddens welcomed "the newest Droplet," her beautiful daughter Aoife (ee-fah) Armentha Laffan, into the world in May, and the group prepares its Nonesuch debut, due out in early 2010. Now, the band is set to hit the road once again for an extensive, 29-date tour of the United States, beginning this Friday at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, and running through a two-gig closer at the Caswell County Civic Center in Yanceyville, South Carolina, in late November. In between, the tour will wind its way through DC, North Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee, California, and Oregon.

Below are the scheduled dates and venues. For more information and links to pick up tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour. And now, you can help spread the word about the Carolina Chocolate Drops and let folks know when they're playing near you by joining the band's new street team.

    Silkroad and Rhiannon Giddens's 'American Railroad' Album Out Now

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
