Workshop Description: In the past 10 years, Dom has developed a style of guitar playing that incorporates a lot of the ideas of the old timey banjo playing. In this workshop Dom will be teaching the basic notions of frailing the guitar, interesting strums, and also the joys that can be found in using basic open tunings on the guitar as shown in early old time blues and country recordings. **Both banjo players and guitar players are welcome!**

Dom Flemons is the "American Songster," pulling from traditions of old-time folk music to create new sounds. Having performed music professionally since 2005, he has played live for over one million people just within the past three years. As part of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, which he co-founded with Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson, he has played at a variety of festivals spanning from the Newport Folk Festival to Bonnaroo, in addition to renowned venues such as the Grand Ole Opry.

A multi-instrumentalist, Dom plays banjo, guitar, harmonica, fife, bones, bass drum, snare drum and quills, in addition to singing. He says that he incorporates his background in percussion to his banjo playing. Dom's banjo repertoire includes not only clawhammer but also tenor and three-finger styles of playing.

Following the workshop will be a concert at 7:30pm at Chandler Center for the Arts, Randolph, VT. Adults $20, students $5 with an adult. Call the box office for tickets: 802-728-6464
