Rhiannon Giddens with Brian Stokes Mitchell

Season 1 Episode 2

Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens and Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell sit down for a candid discussion about theater and music. The two connect over the power of music, and how genres may be universally adapted and “played with” by artists. Mitchell also examines the impact of the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown, particularly as a catalyst for change for Black artists.
