The Carolina Chocolate Drops

The Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops came together as much through a love of cultural exploration as a love of music. The old-time string band with a contemporary sensibility formed in 2005 after meeting at the Black Banjo Gathering in Boone, North Carolina. Their interest in American roots music as viewed through the African American experience grew into raucous performances that drew fans across generations and ethnic backgrounds. Their sets are now wide-ranging – from traditional folk like "Joe Henry" to Celtic and R&B tunes (the Chocolate Drops' cover of Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'Em Up Style" is a current hit).
