The purchase of the ticket for this event was concluded within 3 minutes of them going on sale back in August of last year. Why the hurry? Well the simple answer is – it’s Bela Fleck, and we haven’t seen him in the UK since the 2020 all banjo tour with Abigail Washburn.
The show began sans Rakesh but he would join after the first song and remain for the remainder of the set. From the start until the end Edgar Meyer was absolutely driving the bus. His skilled fingers danced on the strings as the rest of the band followed along layering the melodies.
Three of bluegrass’ premier instrumentalists – banjoist Bela Fleck, mandolinist (and fiddler) Sam Bush and Dobro man Jerry Douglas lit up the stage (and proverbial marquee) at Rose Music Center at the Heights on June 30 for what was dubbed A Bluegrass Happening.
Closing out a jam-packed string of sold-out amphitheater shows, the banjoist — along with Jerry Douglas and Sam Bush — brought his ‘Bluegrass Happening’ to Grand Rapids on Monday.
Banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck returned to the city in which he was born and raised for a concert at Carnegie Hall celebrating his first bluegrass album in more than 20 years. For this concert, he brought along an accompanying retinue of esteemed bluegrass musicians.
With the release of his Grammy-nominated album My Bluegrass Heart earlier this year, Béla Fleck returned to his roots with a cast of the talented musicians who have collaborated with him along the way.
