Béla Fleck And Abigail Washburn At Troy Saving Bank Music Hall On 10/24

  Banjoists Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn have mastered the deceptively intricate art of the duet. Their performances embrace a diversity almost unthinkable - coming from just two banjos and one voice. Together, Fleck and Washburn recently released an eponymous debut album and they will perform at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Friday at 8pm.

Fleck is a 15-time Grammy winner; he has has collaborated with Chick Corea, Edgar Meyer, Dave Mathews, Earl Scruggs, and the entire Cleveland Orchestra for his Banjo Concert 'The Impostor'.

Washburn’s banjo has taken her far beyond the usual old-timey comfort zone, musically and geographically. An alumnus of Uncle Earl, the powerhouse all-female stringband, Abby’s adopted second homeland is China, and her music resounds with echoes of Appalachia and boasts a Chinese cultural influence.
