“AMERICANA MASTER” (NASHVILLE SCENE) DOM FLEMONS TO PERFORM AT MADISON SQUARE PARK OCTOBER 4, SUBCULTURE OCTOBER 11, AND CITY WINERY CABINET OF WONDERS (NPR)

The American Songster Dom Flemons’ October tour will include three performances in NYC:

* October 4 in Madison Square Park
* October 11 at SubCulture
* and October 24 as part of the Cabinet of Wonders at City Winery, also featuring Eric Andersen, Mac McCaughan (of Superchunk), Eugene Mirman, Dani Shapiro, and Sarah Vowell.

Cabinet of Wonders has been picked up by NPR as a syndicated program and is hosted by Wesley Stace.

Flemons last performed in NYC at Lincoln Center Out of Doors in August. He earlier discussed what it means to be the American Songster in an extended interview with Terry Gross on NPR Fresh Air.

A founding member of the GRAMMY-winning, Newport Folk Festival-playing Carolina Chocolate Drops, Flemons lived in NYC until last year, when he made the move back to North Carolina.
