The Tennessee Chocolate Drops were an African-American string band trio, that started recording in 1930 during the Knoxville sessions.
They spent around ten years performing in Chicago, Illinois, where they made their most notable appearance, at the 1933 World's Fair.
In the early 1970s, Martin, Bogan, and Armstrong reunited and made two records for the Flying Fish label.
Howard Armstrong released his debut solo album, Louis Bluie, in 1995 for the Blue Suit label.
The Tennessee Chocolate Drops lived on through the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who started after Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens, and Justin Robinson met and formed a band at a black banjo gathering in Boone, North Carolina, in 2005.
