“Life without other people is fine, but life without banjos would be intolerable!” says Béla Fleck. “So we’re gonna sing and play our banjos to keep everyone from going batty.”
Trade those cabin-fever blues for Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn’s Banjo House Lockdown livestream series on Friday evenings, at least for the next several weeks. The livestream begins at 7:00 PM EDT / 6:00pm CT on Facebook Live.
In the meantime, check out Béla, Abigail, & family performing “Molly Malone” at home in Nashville.
Also on Friday is the release of Fleck’s expanded boxed set, Throw Down Your Heart – The Complete Africa Sessions (documentary film and music), and a new duo LP with kora master, Toumani Diabate. Listen to “Nashville” here.
The following Friday, April 3, sees the release of the duo album Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn on Smithsonian Folkways. Watch their video for “The Roving Cowboy” here.
