Congratulations to Rhiannon Giddens, who has been nominated for Folk Singer of the Year in the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The nominees were announced on Mark Radcliffe's Radio 2 Folk Show earlier this evening. The awards show will take place at Royal Albert Hall in London on Wednesday, April 27. Rhiannon Giddens is up for the Grammy Award for Best Folk Album for her solo debut album, Tomorrow Is My Turn.

Giddens just recently concluded a tour of Europe and the UK, which included a special set as part of BBC Radio 2's coverage from Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival. She also joined the Transatlantic Sessions musicians from both sides of the Atlantic on a week-long UK tour that included a sold-out show at London's Festival Hall, about which The Times's Clive Davis exclaimed in his five-star review: "Anyone who has heard Rhiannon Giddens—the singer who has just delivered one of the albums of the decade—will know that she is a very special talent."

In celebration of Black History Month, Rhiannon Giddens will lead several concerts in the US with cellist Leyla McCalla and singer-songwriter Bhi Bhiman titled Swimming in Dark Waters: Other Voices of the American Experience. The concerts begin at her alma mater, Oberlin Conservatory, on February 20. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
