Grammy-winning folk historian and songwriter Dom Flemons plays Tampa this weekend

If anyone can pack a century’s worth of American music history into one evening, it’s Dom Flemons, who’s headed to The Attic above Rock Brothers Brewing Co. in Ybor City on Saturday.

The Grammy-winning former Carolina Chocolate Drop (and his six-string banjo Big Head Joe) is a roots music icon whose ability to tell stories through song is rivaled only by fellow Chocolate Drop Rhiannon Giddens.

This Ybor City listening room is the perfect venue to see the American Songster bring big Smithsonian Folkways vibes to Tampa Bay.
