Frank's Music with Frank Falvey: "Rhiannon Giddens" (audio)

Frank Falvey has a radio show called "Frank's Music". Self described as 'eclectic' you hear some good music and info about the songs and the performers. Frank records with Jim Derick as they "search for the meaning in music." 

These shows are part of the Franklin Public Radio playlist and also available on SoundCloud.  Franklin Public Radio is 102.9 on the local FM radio dial or anywhere in your browser at wfpr.fm
Thursday = 10:00a/1:00p/7:00p Frank’s Music – Frank Falvey
Frank explores a range of music genres and artists
 The show repeats on Saturday at 10:00 AM

This session explores the music of Rhiannon Giddons. It may have been my conversation with Jim that shared her performance at TED that lead to this episode. Her performance at TED I have shared here on Franklin Matters before. It is one of the most powerful performances I have seen.
