Carolina Chocolate Drops

June 26th We decided to go to another `Celebrate Brooklyn' concert in Prospect Park. The performers were The Dixie Hummingbirds and the Carolina Chocolate Drops. We thought the Hummingbirds would be on last so we took our time getting there but we just caught the end of their set. However the Carolina Chocolate Drops didn't disappoint. They are an American roots band playing bluegrass and traditional music...but the surprise is that they are black! They are all multi instrumentalists and all took turns at singing. On a few numbers they had a guest from the Ebony Hillbillies on percussion! Not my normal style of music but I can really appreciate the great musicinaship and authenticity of this band.
