Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn - Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn

Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn present their eponymous 2014 debut album as a duo, after many years of prominence as banjo players and composers in their own eclectic avenues.

Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn is a front porch banjo and vocal album of new music, Appalachian murder ballads, gospel, chamber and blues; the culmination of a year-long tour as a duo in 2013, following the birth of their son, Juno. Bela, an icon and innovator of jazz, classical and world, with more multi-category GRAMMY wins than any other artist (15 total), and Abigail, a formidable talent with triumphs in songwriting, theater, performance, and even Chinese diplomacy by way of banjo, turn out to be quite a fortuitous pairing with a deep, distinct and satisfying outcome. The culmination is an album like no other.
