Beth Beasley, Times-News correspondent
A livestreamed performance March 25 from Grammy Award-winning musician Dom Flemons will help fund the latest film project from the Center for Cultural Preservation, titled “Moonshining in the Mountains.”
A co-founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Flemons is a self-proclaimed American songster who’s dedicated to sharing the history behind American music.
“Dom is not only a gifted multi-instrumental performer, he also does his own research on traditional music and the talented African-American forefathers and foremothers that were the bedrock of old time music in this country,” says David Weintraub, executive director of the Center for Cultural Preservation.
