Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck"

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.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
