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 the school system, where they seek to inspire a new generation of music makers.
