The Carolina Chocolate Drops' tour of the UK with music from their Nonesuch debut, Genuine Negro Jig, brings the band to London for a performance of what The Guardian calls its "­antique jug band tunes with ­swaggering hip-hop attitude" at Bush Hall tonight. The concert is a Critics' Choice from Time Out London, which finds the band "drawing on Carolina's vibrant musical heritage to play high energy bluegrass with a jazzy twist."

The trio's recent performance at the Derby Theatre in Derby, England, receives four stars from The Guardian. Reviewer Alfred Hickling says the band lives up to the "genuine" in its album title, given how fully engaged the band members are with the music's history. "The sources of the band's sound are deep and complex," writes Hickling. And yet, beyond the trio's appreciation of the music's roots, "it is the interaction between the members, swapping ­instruments and harmony lines on the fly, that makes them such a joy to watch."

Hickling cites performance stand-outs from each member of the band, noting "impressive gravitas" from Justin Robinson, remarking on Rhiannon Giddens, who possesses "the voice of an angel yet can make a kazoo sound filthy," and recognizing Dom Flemons, who "has pioneered his own form of guitar gymnastics in which he sends the instrument spinning in the air without missing a beat."
