The Our State lobby hadn’t heard anything prettier before Rhiannon Giddens and Laurelyn Dossett stepped in with acoustic guitar and violin in tow.
Rhiannon Giddens, one-third of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and singer-songwriter Laurelyn Dossett performed “Leaving Eden,” a song written by Dossett. In fact, this song is the title track on the Carolina Chocolate Drops latest album.
