The husband and wife duo of Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn is renowned globally for their innovative banjo stylings. On the heels of their recent joint album Echo In The Valley, Fleck and Washburn took to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 16th to perform at World Cafe Live for a segment broadcast on WXPN. Earlier this week, World Cafe released video of the session, including videos of “Take Me To Harlan” and “Over The Divide”.
