Sat, Jan 31, 1–2:30 PM (with intermission) Free performance in Abbott Hall, with registration required; walk-ins accepted as space allows. Registration required.
Join us for an afternoon with Dom Flemons, known as “The American Songster®” because his repertoire covers more than 100 years of American roots music. The program begins with a live performance of songs from his Grammy-nominated album, interwoven with scenes from the iconic 1939 film, "The Bronze Buckaroo," which broke barriers as an all-Black cast film. The second half of the program showcases the rich tapestry of Black country music traditions and incorporates Flemons playing his original songs while weaving in personal anecdotes and historical insights.
This is a community partnership program to honor Black History Month with Blues Society of Omaha and Pacific Street Blues radio show.
