Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind
In April 2005, Dom Flemings, Rhiannon Giddens, and Justin Robinson met at the Black Banjo Gathering, a ground-breaking musical and educational event that was held in Boone, NC. They rapidly discovered a common sense of purpose, and after many visits to respected elder fiddler Joe Thompson, the Carolina Chocolate Drops were born. They have since performed their work in a school system where they seek to inspire a new generation of music makers, and many Thursday nights you can still find them at Joe's house, listening to his stories and seeking to learn more of his music.
