Experience Rhiannon Giddens live on July 22nd

Rhiannon Giddens is a celebrated American musician known for her expansive exploration of American roots music. Her work prominently features the banjo, but extends far beyond bluegrass, encompassing folk, blues, jazz, and early American minstrelsy. Giddens frequently centers the contributions of African American musicians to these genres, often performing songs rescued from historical obscurity and crafting original compositions that address themes of race, history, and identity. She is a MacArthur Fellow and has received numerous Grammy Awards for her recordings and collaborations.

The concert is scheduled to take place at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater in Wilmington, North Carolina on July 22, 2026. This outdoor venue is situated on the shores of Greenfield Lake, a 200-acre freshwater lake within the city limits. Constructed in the early 1950s as a Works Progress Administration project, the amphitheater originally served as a community space for performances and gatherings. It underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s to improve accessibility and enhance its capacity for hosting larger events. The amphitheater is known for its natural setting and relatively intimate atmosphere compared to larger concert venues in the region.
