Grassland String Band will celebrate the 2015 4th of July Holiday with a performance at the 7th annual Classic City American Music Festival in Athens, Georgia.  Tapped to close out the all-day music festival, GSB will follow headliner Dom Flemons and an impressive who’s-who of local and regional Americana bands.   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.
