About the artist

Béla Fleck

Bela Fleck is not your average banjo player. With a career spanning over four decades, this virtuoso musician has redefined what it means to pick and pluck on that old-timey instrument. From his early days as a member of New Grass Revival to his groundbreaking work with the Flecktones, Bela has consistently pushed the boundaries of bluegrass, jazz, and world music. Fleck's unique blend of technical prowess and musical curiosity has earned him a staggering 14 Grammy Awards, making him one of the most decorated artists in the industry. But don't let the accolades fool you – Bela is as down-to-earth as they come, always quick with a joke and a smile. Whether he's collaborating with legends like Chick Corea and Edgar Meyer or embarking on solo projects that explore the outer reaches of banjo possibilities, Bela Fleck never fails to surprise and delight his audience. His live performances are a masterclass in improvisation, with each note ringing out clear and true, carrying the listener on a musical journey that is as exhilarating as it is unpredictable. So if you're looking for a taste of something truly special, do yourself a favour and check out Bela Fleck. He may not have the flashy persona of a pop star, but his music speaks for itself – and once you hear it, you'll be hooked.
