Rhiannon Giddens, who could be seen on PBS stations across the United States on Friday performing in Bill Murray's Mark Train Prize ceremony at The Kennedy Center, will perform at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on May 13, 2017, as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series. The acclaimed series returns for its 18th season of celebrating American singing and songwriting with 16 concerts in The Appel Room in February and March, and then moves to Alice Tully Hall for a Sutton Foster show on April 14 and Giddens's season-closing concert on May 13.

The release of Rhiannon Giddens’s solo album, Tomorrow Is my Turn, on Nonesuch in 2015 garnered ecstatic praise from critics. Covering songs made famous by Patsy Cline, Odetta, Dolly Parton, and Nina Simone the co-founder of new roots Grammy Award‒winning band the Carolina Chocolate Drops (who appeared in American Songbook 2011) broke new ground with what the Los Angeles Times called “a collection that should solidify her status as one of the bright new lights in pop music.” Folk and roots music are still prominent among her interests, and last season her sold-out Swimming in Dark Waters concert at The Appel Room was one of the stand-out events of the American Songbook season. The New York Times called it “a pinnacle of [the] season’s American Songbook series.”

Tickets for the American Songbook series go on sale to Friends of Lincoln Center on November 7 and to the public on November 14. For details, visit americansongbook.org.

To pick up a copy of Tomorrow Is My Turn and the follow-up EP Factory Girl, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete recording at checkout.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
