Rhiannon Giddens And Dirk Powell At The Capitol Center For The Arts

American music has at its core an affirmative language that unites all of us as Brothers and Sisters. Rhiannon Giddens and Dirk Powell are masters of this language. They will be appear at the historic Capitol Center for the Arts in Downtown Concord on Saturday, March 4 at 8PM. Tickets are $32, plus any applicable fees for phone/Internet sales.

With roots in North Carolina and Kentucky, their musical heritage springs from places where the mix is particularly potent. Rhiannon brought African-American stringband traditions a new and beautiful vitality through The Carolina Chocolate Drops, and has launched a versatile solo career that confirms her status as a major American artist for this day and age. Dirk has championed the Appalachian music of his grandfather and the Cajun/Creole sounds of his Louisiana family since his teenage years, becoming a central figure in the revitalization of both traditions, while recording and performing with artists like Eric Clapton and Joan Baez.

Tickets may also obtained at the CCA's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
