Vienna CarrollVienna Carroll is a singer and storyteller based in Harlem, NYC. She received her B.A in African American Studies from Yale University.

She interweaves those songs through forgotten stories of Black heroes in the antebellum era and has won awards for a historical musical docu-drama and a historical series.

Vienna performed with her band, The Folk, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was the inaugural artist at the Logan Arts Center Blues Fest in Chicago. She has performed in New Zealand; at Pinkster Festivals in NYC; at the American Folk Art Museum, NYC; The Langston Hughes House, Harlem; the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, NH; and the Fiddlers Fair, Rochester NY.
