Béla Fleck & The Flecktones
Tuesday 3rd November at 8pm
Tuesday 3rd November at 8pm
Béla Fleck is often considered the premiere banjo player in the world. A New York City native, he picked up the banjo at age 15 after being awed by the bluegrass playing of Flatt and Scruggs.
Béla is the only musician to be nominated for Grammy awards in jazz, bluegrass, pop, country, spoken word, Christian, composition and world music categories!
In 1989 he formed The Flecktones. They made their self titled debut recording in 1990 by playing a blu-bop mix of jazz and bluegrass and soon became a commercially successful, critically acclaimed and award winning band.
Individually the band comprise some of the most gifted and respected musicians in America....Victor Wooten (regaled as the most influential Bassist since Jaco Pastorius); Roy El aka Futureman (inventor, scientist, musician & composer...creator of the Drumitar!); Howard Levy (first to use overflow and overdraw techniques on the diatonic harmonica)
Unmissable!
