Rhiannon Giddens has announced new dates on her headlining tour in celebration of her highly praised second solo album, Freedom Highway. The sixteen new tour stops include shows in Baltimore, Tampa, and Cincinnati. See below for all of the currently scheduled shows. Tickets for the new dates will go on sale this Friday, February 2, at 10am local time. For all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Freedom Highway made several of 2017's year-end-best lists, including those of NPR Music and Rolling Stone. Giddens co-produced the album with multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell in his Breaux Bridge, Louisiana studio, with the bulk of recording done in wooden rooms built prior to the Civil War. Freedom Highway is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and in the Nonesuch Store and can be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.

The MacArthur Foundation recently announced Rhiannon Giddens as a recipient of their prestigious fellowship. The MacArthur Fellowship is a five-year grant "to individuals who show exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect for still more in the future." Giddens has a recurring role in CMT’s series Nashville, the new season of which began earlier this month.

    "The beauty of song is you can spread information, you can make people feel not alone. And you can also create a time capsule for people in the future to know what we’re dealing with now," Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra) tells KCRW's Press Play. You can hear it here. "The Troubadour: How Alynda Segarra, a former train-hopping punk from the Bronx, became one of America’s best songwriters," titles an extensive profile in New York magazine's Vulture on Segarra and their new album, The Past Is Still Alive, written by Jenn Pelly.
