Dom Flemons
Artist Biography
A rootsy singer/songwriter with a bent toward Americana, folk, banjo, blues, and jug band music, Dom Flemons first came to the public's attention in the late 2000s as a member of the Grammy-winning old-timey string ensemble the Carolina Chocolate Drops. He began his solo career while still a member of the group, carving out a reputation as the "American Songster" -- which was also the name of his 2008 solo album -- and developing a focus on historic American folk styles which often utilized arcane instrumentation like the bones, quills, and pan pipes. After leaving the Chocolate Drops in 2012, Flemons doubled down on his solo work, touring frequently and releasing well-researched albums like 2014's Prospect Hill, his 2018 exploration of Black pioneers in the American West and Grammy-nominated Black Cowboys, and 2023's Traveling Wildfire.
