Politics, Culture, and Other Wastes of Time

The Carolina Chocolate Drops are an African American string band out of Durham, NC, but they are hardly a novelty act.
The high quality of their music has drawn nationwide attention, and they have even performed on "The Prairie Home Companion."
This video is from a 2006 performance at a music festival in Mount Airy, NC. I had a chance to see them at the Charlie Poole Festival in Eden, NC.
The band has many dates in Virginia and North Carolina over the next two months.
In Virginia, they will perform at a festival in Big Stone Gap on May 24. Later on, they will be at two awesome venues: The North Theatre in Danville (June 20) and Sun Music Hall in Floyd (June 21).
In North Carolina, one can see them perform at the Fun Fourth Festival in Greensboro on June 29.
