Dom Flemons

CES presents Grammy-winning Americana and folk musician, Dom Flemons as the capstone concert for the 14th annual FSU Appalachian Festival.

Hailed by the Boston Globe as “a torchbearer in contemporary American roots music,” Flemons first gained renown as co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops. He has since received two additional Grammy nominations and two Emmy nominations for his work as a solo musician, and is affectionately known as the “American Songster.”

Flemons’ 14-year career, ten studio albums and vast repertoire cover nearly 100 years of American folklore, ballads and tunes. He has traveled the world bringing his unique take on folk and roots music to prominent venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry, the Newport Folk Festival and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
