Dom Flemons – Grand Ole Opry (Nashville)
The multi-instrumentalist, historian and co-founder of the GRAMMY-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops brings his new album, Black Cowboys (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings), to life on stage. Flemons takes the listener on an illuminating journey through the Old West via re-worked string-blues music, old-time square-dance music and cowboy poetry, along with original music written specifically for the album, all of which explore and celebrate the history of African-American cowboy songs.
