The band members (Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens, and Justin Robinson) are all multi-instrumentalists and trade leads both on instruments and vocals.
Rhiannon's vocal talents come from a wide array of influences: from her training in opera, to her work with her sister in a Celtic band, and various folk and Appalachian music influences. Check out this sample of her vocal talents as she knocks it out of the park (a cappella even)...
The band's website features a nicely written history of the band and Black String Band history.
Here's a nice short piece on the band from a TV station in Michigan...
And last but not least, here's a video of their remake of Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'Em Up Style" complete with Justin knocking out a great beatbox set...
