The power couple of Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn are hitting the road hard in 2016 kicking off in Glasgow, Scotland and bringing it back to North America for coast-to-coast tour, even hitting Alaska at the end of the run.
“What can I say about my wife Abby, except that the first time I listened to a CD of her music, I started driving so fast that I got pulled over for speeding and was made to walk the line by the men in blue! She’s a beautiful singer/songwriter who builds her material around her distinctive claw-hammer banjo style. This results in very rooted and soulful, yet original music of the first order.” [Bela Fleck]
