Dom Flemons & The Traveling Wildfires is a brand-new Black string band supergroup launched in 2025. Dom Flemons, “The American Songster,” is a Founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, the newest inductee in the American Banjo Hall of Fame, a GRAMMY Winner, and he’s considered an American roots icon. The supergroup The Traveling Wildfires is the next chapter in Flemons’ 20-year-long career that began with the founding of The Carolina Chocolate Drops. It has always been Flemons’ dream to have his own band that would include a roster of musicians who alternate for each show because he wants to expand his music capabilities and collaborations. Now, the musicians joining Dom Flemons’ supergroup are Bassist/Fiddler Brian Farrow (formerly Gangstagrass), Banjoist/Guitarist Tray Wellington (formerly New Dangerfield), and Singer/Drummer Dante Pope (formerly Old Crow Medicine Show).

Each show is carefully curated to include Dom’s greatest hits from his GRAMMY-nominated albums “Black Cowboys” and “Traveling Wildfire” along with more fan favorites. The mission of the band is to present an exciting, high-energy show with songs that reach into the heart of all the American roots genres from bluegrass, folk, country, gospel, blues to string band music.
