Featuring Dom Flemons and Sheila Curran Bernard
Moderated by Michael Eck
Join us for a fun, wide-ranging conversation about Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Lead Belly. One of the most influential American musical artists of all time, Ledbetter left his indelible mark on many genres, including gospel, blues, country, folk, and rock & roll.
Dom Flemons, “The American Songster,” is a Grammy-winning folk musician and— in many ways— an heir to Lead Belly’s artistic legacy. In 2015, he was chosen to host a star-studded 125th birthday celebration for Lead Belly at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and performed at a Lead Belly tribute at Carnegie Hall in 2016.
Sheila Curran Bernard is the author of Bring Judgment Day: Reclaiming Lead Belly's Truths from Jim Crow's Lies (Cambridge University Press, 2024).
Cosponsored by the University at Albany History Department, and the Department of Music and Theatre.
