As a resolute preservationist, storyteller, and instrumentalist, Dom Flemons has long set himself apart by finding forgotten folk songs and making them live again. Lauded with a GRAMMY win and two EMMY nominations, he is widely known as the American Songster, since his repertoire covers over a century of early American popular music. Flemons is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, actor, slam poet, music scholar, historian, and record collector. Equally virtuosic on the banjo, guitar, harmonica, jug, percussion, quills, fife and rhythm bones, Flemons is host of the American Songster Radio show on Nashville’s WSM Radio. His latest, Traveling Wildfire, is his first album since 2018’s Black Cowboys and second for Smithsonian Folkways. A co-founder of his former band, Carolina Chocolate Drops, with bandmate Rhiannon Giddens, Flemons is originally from Phoenix and currently lives in the Chicago area with his family.
