SUMMARY:Béla Fleck & The Flecktones Jingle All the Way
DESCRIPTION:With special guests Jeff Coffin & Alash\n“An elite musical visionary whose remarkable talent and boundless curiosity took him and his banjo across a wide and diverse musical universe. But you can’t appreciate the man’s virtuosity until you see him up close and live.”—The Arts Fuse\nGroundbreaking banjoist\, composer\, and bandleader Béla Fleck has reconvened the original lineup of the Grammy Award-winning quartet Béla Fleck & The Flecktones\, with pianist and harmonica player Howard Levy back in the fold alongside bassist Victor Wooten and percussionist/Drumitarist Roy “Futureman” Wooten. While all manners of genres come into play — from classical and jazz to bluegrass and African music to electric blues and Eastern European folk dances — the result is an impossible to pigeonhole sound all its own.

The Flecktones will still bring you an amazing night of music\, accompanied by their very special guests Jeff Coffin and Alash! We appreciate your understanding\, and look forward to seeing you soon.
