Ep 16 - Banjo Royalty Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn

Better Than Monkeys

Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn, “the king and queen of the banjo” (Paste Magazine), have a musical partnership like no other. Béla Fleck is a sixteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized the instrument by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. The two met at a square dance, began collaborating musically and eventually fell in love. YOU can fall in love with the dynamic musical duo on the most recent episode of BETTER THAN MONKEYS and you can catch them LIVE at the Chautauqua Institution on July 26, 2019 (www.chq.org) Join host Brian Hannah as he, Bela and Abigail talk all things love, banjo, banjo love, music love...lots of love to go around!
