Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn
Banjo playing maniac Béla Fleck is coming back to town, and he’s bringing his talented spouse Abigail Washburn with him this time for a night of magical music next month.
The husband and wife duo have been touring together recently, and they’re bringing their act to the Walton Arts Center for a show on Friday, Feb. 19.
According to their website, the two musicians began playing together more often as a way to tour and spend more time together after the birth of their son, Juno.
The result is an incredible combination of three-finger and clawhammer banjo duet, resulting in virtuosic jazz-to-classical banjo playing with a unique, sophisticated old-time singer songwriting sensibility.
Tickets range from $25-45 at waltonartscenter.org. They could also be free, if you’re the lucky winner of the following giveaway.
