Justin Robinson Quintet - Tribute to Roy Hargrove

Dearborn Station

Composer, vocalist, and banjo virtuoso Rhiannon Giddens is perhaps the hardest working and most decorated woman in modern roots music—with two Grammy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and a MacArthur “Genius” grant to her credit. Hot on the heels of her April 2025 release with fellow Carolina Chocolate Drops member Justin Robinson, What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, Giddens returns to Berkeley leading a stellar five-piece string band in a supremely original romp through Black American music—from the blues, to country, to swing. “Few artists are so fearless and so ravenous in their exploration” (Pitchfork).
