Biography
The Carolina Chocolate Drops, formed in Durham, North Carolina, in 2005, were an American folk band featuring Rhiannon Giddens on banjo, Domâ¯Flemons on banjo and guitar, and Justinâ¯Robinson on fiddle. Their first release, the EP Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind (2006), established their blend of Piedmont oldâtime and AfricanâAmerican musical traditions. The group followed with Heritage (2007), Carolina Chocolate Drops & Joe Thompson (2009), and Genuine Negro Jig (2010), which won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album. Subsequent albums Carolina Chocolate Drops / Luminescent Orchestrii (2011) and Leaving Eden (2012) expanded their repertoire, while collaborations with Buddyâ¯Miller and Leylaâ¯McCalla enriched their sound. The band ceased regular touring in 2014, with members pursuing solo projects; a 2025 reunion at the Biscuits & Banjos Festival marked a brief return.
