Phil Cook, Mipso, Dom Flemons & more playing Music in the Gardens 2015

Duke Performances has announced the lineup of its annual Music in the Gardens series at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University and this year's lineup features a very hefty dose of blues and folk.

Things will kick off with Mipso on June 3. The Music Maker Revue holds three spots on the schedule, June 10, July 15 and July 29 featuring Cool John Ferguson, Boo Hanks, Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen and others. The Dom Flemons Trio will play June 17.

In the middle of the series, singer-songwriter Phil Cook and his band The Guituarheels will play three-straight nights, June 22-24, in the Gardens featuring different music each night. The first evening is the Southland Revue, and set of southern music featuring Frazey Ford, Heather McEntire and Christy Smith. The second evening is Are You Ready for the Jubilee? featuring Charlie Parr and The Branchettes. And then the third evening is Southland Mission, featuring music from Cook's new solo album of the same name.

The back half of the season will feature Laurelyn Dossett on July 1, Alice Gerrard and Rayna Gellert on July 8 and Diali Cissokho and Kaira Ba on July 22.
