Dom Flemons, the host of WUNC’s American Songster Radio Podcast, has a role in the new CMT TV series Sun Records, which premieres tonight (Thursday 2/23) at 10 PM on CMT.
 

Flemons plays the role of Joe Hill Louis.  Also known as the Bebop Boy, Louis was one of a handful of one-man blues bands to record commercially in the 1950s.  Louis worked for a time as a session musician at the legendary Memphis Record Label Sun Records.  The television drama also tells the stories of the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis.
