“Each song has its own way that it likes to be done, but it can be more...” — Rhiannon Giddens Quote

Each song has its own way that it likes to be done, but it can be more than one way. If you tap into it, you can feel it.

I mean, my training at Oberlin has been absolutely valuable.

I couldn't stand the politics in opera.

So my mom's folks are from one side of Greensboro - and, you know, outside of Greensboro. And my dad's folks, the white side, is from another very small town outside of Greensboro. So both sides are coming from the country.

If I want to support my family and my crew, we have to be on the road, and that's really tiring.

My songs are pop songs, they're rock songs. They're not way out there. You can tap your feet to them, you can dance to them.

When I was 13, I was a member of a women's over-40s tap class.

I'm going to continue to tap until I can't move.

I can never go to a clairvoyant. I'd be too afraid of what they might tap into.

I would love to be able to tap dance.
