For a taste of the Blueridge to drown out the city stress, check out this banjo-centric folk ensemble. Hailing from the states that make their name, The Carolina Chocolate Drops deliver tunes from molasses soaked “Little Margaret” to knee-slappin’ “Ole Corn Likker”.

Add a song or two from “Dona Got A Ramblin’ Mind” to your morning soundtrack and you’ll coast through that AM commute. www.carolinachocolatedrops.com
