On June 18, take a trip to the Hollywood Bowl for a journey through the evolution of folk with some of its biggest stars in a one-night-only celebration of American music led by singer, fiddler, banjo player, and composer Rhiannon Giddens. Giddens, a two time Grammy-winner and MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient, leads her own Old-Time Revue (Dirk Powell, Jason Sypher, Demeanor, Amelia Powell, and Justin Robinson of the Carolina Chocolate Drops) alongside Our Native Daughters (Leyla McCalla, Amythyst Kiah), Steve Martin, Alison Brown, Ed Helms, and more.
The night’s program promises a vast exploration of the American musical landscape, from the old-time and string band traditions that laid its foundation, to the rise of bluegrass, the folk revival, and beyond. The result is undeniable assertion of folk’s ongoing impact on the American soundscape, drawing attention to its stories of struggle, resilience, and the beauty of shared heritage.
