"Tradition is a guide, not a jailer. We play in an older tradition but we are modern musicians."
- Justin Robinson
In the spring and fall of 2005, three young black musicians, Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens, and Justin Robinson, made the commitment to travel to Mebane, N.C., every Thursday night to sit in the home of old-time fiddler Joe Thompson for a musical jam session. Joe was in his 80's, a black fiiddler with a short bow style that he inherited from generations of family musicians. He had learned to play a wide ranging set of tunes sitting on the back porch with other players after a day of field work. Now he was passing those same lessons on to a new generation.
When the three students decided to form a band, they didn’t have big plans. It was mostly a tribute to Joe, a chance to bring his music back out of the house again and into dance halls and public places. They called themselves The Chocolate Drops...FIND OUT MORE

Dear Rhiannon, Dom, and Justin,
Amazing set at Hardly Strictly yesterday. I was particularly blown away by the beautiful Scottish ballad. Heard you on NPR recently too. It's wonderful to see all the good things happening for you three lately. It couldn't happen to a more deserving and talented group of people. Continued good fortune chasing your beautiful muse.
