Triad Arts Live With Judy Barnes And David Ford's Interview With Rhiannon Giddens

Happy 2016! We're kicking off the new year with a very special broadcast.

On today's show we leave the studio and head to downtown Winston-Salem for Triad Arts Live, presented by WFDD and The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Our guest is Judy Barnes. That's the name of the band fronted by vocalist Jodi Burns. Judy Barnes filled the Mountcastle Forum at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts with their distinctive blend of rock, opera, soul, and choral music. We have the whole concert and interview for you on today's show. Then we revisit David Ford's interview with Rhiannon Giddens.  Her album Tomorrow Is My Turn showed up on a number of year-end “best of” lists, including NPR's.
