AMERICAN SONGSTER Dom Flemons comes to Arden Considered “the American Songster” by many fans, Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops will bring his old-time folk music sound to Arden Gild Hall on Friday, Oct. 3, alongside the duo of Grace and Tony. As part of the Chocolate Drops, which he co-founded in 2005 with Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson, Flemons has performed at the Newport Folk Festival and Bonnaroo, in addition to such renowned venues as the Grand Ole Opry. Raised in Phoenix, Ariz., Flemons began playing percussion instruments in his high school band. After picking up the guitar and harmonica as a teenager, he played in local coffee houses and became a regular on the Arizona folk music scene until he was discovered and his career skyrocketed. Within the past three years he’s performed in front of one million people. Flemons is currently set to work on his untitled third solo album, focusing on creating music that is rooted in history, with a contemporary approach. The show starts at 8 p.m. and advance tickets are $15 and $18 at the door. For more information, visit www.domflemons.com. WEST COAST MUSICIAN COMES TO THE QUEEN Brett Dennen will perform Oct. 17
