He is also the co-founder and original member of the groundbreaking Carolina Chocolate Drops, the first ever Black string band to win a GRAMMY. Over the past 25 years, he has received major awards, gained world-wide media recognition, and become one of the most influential and highly decorated voices in American roots music. “Dom Flemons is one of the most accomplished American Folk Artists…few have pumped as much lifeblood into tradition as he has.” – MOJO Season Ticket Holders, Circle Society Donors, and Corporate Partners enjoy access to an exclusive lounge before the show with complimentary drinks and a special performance by local singer-songwriter Emily Fenton.
