Carolina Chocolate Drops

The Carolina Chocolate Drops hail from Durham, North Carolina - just a few miles from my beloved Chapel Hill - and they "play the rich tradition of fiddle and banjo music of the Carolinas’ piedmont." Their authentic sound makes me homesick for the hills of North Carolina and the delicious food of Mama Dips. So dig in and enjoy.
