Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn are considered “the king and queen of the banjo.” They have a musical partnership like no other.
Béla Fleck is a sixteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn is a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds.
The two met at a square dance, began collaborating musically and eventually fell in love. They will be at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Wednesday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m.
