Known as “The American Songster®,” Dom Flemons’ repertoire spans more than 100 years of American roots music. A folk musician, black country artist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music scholar, historian, actor, slam poet, and much more, Flemons also created, hosts, and produces the American Songster Radio Show on WSM in Nashville, TN.
He is the co-founder and original member of the groundbreaking Carolina Chocolate Drops, the first Black string band to win a Grammy Award. Over the past 25 years, Flemons has become one of the most accomplished, influential, and highly decorated American folk artists, earning major awards and worldwide media recognition.
This event has been funded by the Frederica G. Esbenshade Memorial Fund, which provides annual income for the purpose of bringing lectures, performing artists, and programs of diverse nature to the campus and community at large. The endowed fund was established in 1980 by Harry H Esbenshade Sr., and Harry H. Esbenshade Jr., husband and son, respectively, of the late Mrs. Esbenshade of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. All events are free and open to the public.
