“The American Songster" Dom Flemons over for Europe tour this month

 Dr. Dom Flemons “The American Songster" received an Honorary Doctorate from Northern Arizona University and he's a GRAMMY Award Winner with four GRAMMY nominations, two-time EMMY Nominee, International Acoustic Music Award Grand Prize Winner, and was a United States Artists Fellow. He is a musician based in the Chicago area and he is famously known as "The American Songster®" since his repertoire covers over one hundred years of American roots music; including country, folk, bluegrass, Americana, and the blues. Flemons is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music scholar, historian, actor, slam poet, record collector, podcaster, and the creator, host, and producer of the American Songster Radio Show on WSM in Nashville, TN. He is considered an expert player on the banjo, guitar, harmonica, jug, percussion, quills, fife and rhythm bones. He is the co-founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the founder of American Songster Productions. 

Flemons recently released his highly anticipated solo album Traveling Wildfire on the Smithsonian Folkways label. The album included original songs, a 50-page liner notes booklet designed with custom artwork, tin-type photos, and images by world-renowned photographers. The critically acclaimed album produced by Ted Hutt earned him a GRAMMY nomination for “Best Folk Album” in the same category as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Old Crow Medicine Show, Milk Carton Kids, Nickel Creek, and Rufus Wainwright.
