The afternoon runs in two parts of about 45 minutes each. In the first, Flemons performs songs from his Grammy-nominated album "Black Cowboys" alongside scenes from "The Bronze Buckaroo," a 1939 Western with an all-Black cast. The version shown is drawn from the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and was re-edited by Vania Kinard for this presentation.

The second half moves through a century of American roots music, including folk, blues, country and bluegrass, with original songs from his Grammy-nominated album "Traveling Wildfire."

Flemons is a co-founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and a member of the American Banjo Hall of Fame. The Sunday concert is part of his Eastern Shore residency, Nov. 7 through 11, which Carpe Diem Arts describes as five days of performances and community engagement.

The college campus is at 1000 College Circle, about 20 minutes north of Easton by car, according to the college. The theater's phone is 410-822-5400, ext. 5868.

The engagement is supported in part by the Mid Atlantic Presenter Initiatives program of Mid Atlantic Arts, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
