Banjo Innovators Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, In-Studio
Soundcheck | Dec 25, 2017
Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn have each – in their own separate ways during their separate careers – been reinventing the sound of the banjo. Bela has drawn on jazz, classical, rock, folk, and world music; Abigail is fluent in Mandarin and has used her voice and banjo to draw connections between Chinese and Appalachian music. Together, though, this husband and wife team has released a couple of albums that really go for the old fashioned front porch sound. Their latest record is Echo In The Valley, and they'll play some of it in-studio.
Set List:
- Over the Divide
- Bloomin' Rose
- Come All You Coal Miners
