muggle not Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Rhiannon Giddens is probably the best performer that you have never heard of. She has won several grammies, been nominated for numerous others and has won a Pulitzer. She has also written 4 children's books. If you don't like one of her songs, try another and I think you will like it. She is masterful on several instruments. please read of her accomplishments: Awards and nominations[edit] Awards and nominations for Rhiannon Giddens Year Association Category Nominated work Work 2010 Americana Music Awards Duo/Group of the Year Carolina Chocolate Drops Nominated 2011 Grammy Awards Best Traditional Folk Album Genuine Negro Jig Won 2012 Americana Music Awards Duo/Group of the Year Carolina Chocolate Drops Nominated 2013 Grammy Awards Best Folk Album Leaving Eden Nominated 2015 Americana Music Awards Album of the Year Tomorrow Is My Turn Nominated Artist of the Year Rhiannon Giddens Nominated 2016 Grammy Awards Best Folk Album Tomorrow Is My Turn Nominated International Folk Music Awards Album of the Year Tomorrow Is My Turn Won BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Folk Singer of the Year Rhiannon Giddens Won Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass N/A Rhiannon Giddens Won North Carolina Music Hall of Fame Induction Rhiannon Giddens and the Carolina Chocolate Drops Won 2017 Grammy Awards Best American Roots Performance Factory Girl Nominated Best Folk Album Factory Girl Nominated Living Blues Awards Critics Poll Blues Artist of the Year (Female) Rhiannon Giddens Won Americana Music Awards Album of the Year Freedom Highway Nominated Country Music Association Awards Musical Event of the Year Kill a Word (with Eric Church) Nominated MacArthur Fellowship Won 2018 International Folk Music Awards Album of the Year Freedom Highway Won Songlines Music Awards Americas Freedom Highway Won Living Blues Awards New Recordings (Traditional & Acoustic) Freedom Highway Won 2019 Americana Music Honors & Awards Legacy of Americana Rhiannon Giddens Won Duo/Group of the Year Our Native Daughters Nominated Artist of the Year Rhiannon Giddens Nominated 2020 Grammy Awards Best American Roots Performance I'm On My Way Nominated Blues Music Awards Acoustic Blues Artist Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Living Blues Awards Blues Artist of the Year (Female) Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Most Outstanding Blues Singer Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Best Live Performer Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Critics Poll Most Outstanding Musician (Other/Banjo) Rhiannon Giddens Won Producer of the Year: New Recording Rhiannon Giddens & Dirk Powell (Songs of Our Native Daughters) Won 2021 Blues Music Awards Traditional Blues Female Artist Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Americana Music Honors & Awards Duo/Group of the Year Our Native Daughters Nominated 2022 Grammy Awards Best American Roots Song Avalon Nominated Best Folk Album They're Calling Me Home Won Songlines Music Awards Fusion Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi Nominated 2023 Blues Music Awards Traditional Blues Female Artist Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Acoustic Blues Artist Rhiannon Giddens Nominated Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards Jury Award Omar Won Pulitzer Prize Music Omar Won Edited August 27, 2023 by muggle not Quote

Madeleine Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 Loreena McKennitt - Canadian singer/songwriter, probably more in the folk genre, I first heard of her during a walk in Scotland back in 2013, when a member of the group played us her version of "The Highwayman", in the middle of a wood somewhere. Very haunting, she's also set "The Lady of Shalott" to music which is worth a listen. Quote
