The Hylton Center welcomes superstars Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn in a special concert sure to captivate, with their unique mix of alternative bluegrass that is both familiar and boundary-pushing. The husband and wife duo, who met at a square dance, are each banjo icons. Fleck's creative musical fusions earned him worldwide acclaim, artistic collaborations with Chick Corea and Chris Thile, and 15 Grammy Awards. In addition to playing with old-time bands Uncle Earl and Sparrow Quartet, Washburn is part of the experimental duo, The Wu-Force, with Chinese zither player Wu Fei. “Dazzles without sacrificing a shred of approachability” (NPR).
