The Carolina Chocolate Drops have sparked a musical revolution, reclaiming the rich history of the African American string band. With a sound that reveals the celebratory, interconnected currents running through blues, country and bluegrass, they bring brash, youthful energy to music rooted in the red soil of the southern Piedmont region. The band’s rapidly rising profile finds them opening for the Dave Matthews Band, performing at major festivals and recording for the prestigious Nonesuch label.
