In 2014, the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), in association with WOMAD, commissioned Dom to collaborate with legendary finger-style guitarist Martin Simpson, researching and performing material rooted in English and American folk traditions. Together Martin and Dom explored how folk songs travelled from England to North America and vice versa, changing shape as they journeyed. The partnership proved fruitful, and the duo are set to release their first album together in October 2016.
Aside from his work with Martin, Dom’s solo career continues to flourish. Last year he released his most recent EP What Got Over, a companion piece to his 2014 album Prospect Hill, and somehow alongside his relentless touring schedule the ‘American Songster’ has found time to launch a podcast.
Dom will be performing at Cecil Sharp House on Wednesday 20 July, followed by an engaging and inspiring American Folk Workshop on Thursday 21 July.
