Banjo Innovators Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, In-Studio (Archives)




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>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 2017 record is <em>Echo In The Valley</em>, and they'll play some of it in-studio. (From the archives.)</p> <p>Set List:</p> <ul> Over the Divide Bloomin' Rose Come All You Coal Miners </ul>
