Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn at FTC StageOne

King and queen of Banjo Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn bring their folksy bluegrass to FTC StageOne.

You’d find little debate about calling Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn the king and queen of the banjo—Fleck, a master who has won 15 Grammy awards and taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Washburn as someone who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds.

Stripped down to its raw elements, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn gives everything the duo needs to deliver a modern masterpiece of Americana: two banjos, two voices, and occasional percussion vibrating dust off the wooden floorboards.

Tickets will be available to the general public on October 18th for the Thursday, March 3, 2016 show and cost $55 with member discount available. Purchase by calling the FTC box office at 203-259-1036 or visiting the FTC website here.
