Carolina Chocolate Drops

Tickets: $15, 20, 30, 40; $10 students

Carolina Chocolate Drops—whose 2010 Nonesuch debut Genuine Negro Jig won a Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy—prove that old-time string music from the Piedmont region of the Carolinas is an ever-evolving sound. On their latest release, Leaving Eden, they illustrate the ability to grow and change, as their new repertoire incorporates more blues, jazz, and folk balladry alongside brilliantly rendered string-band tunes.

Running time for the concert is approximately two hours, with one intermission.
