The Blue Mountains Music Festival has the privilege of announcing that banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn are coming to Katoomba for one performance only on August 16.
They bring their distinct musical personalities and banjo styles to a diverse repertoire spanning Appalachian murder ballads, gospel, chamber and blues.
Washburn has the earthy sophistication of a postmodern singer-songwriter; Flack has the virtuosic ingenuity of an iconic instrumentalist and composer with bluegrass roots.
They are in Australia as gusts of the Adelaide Guitar Festival and have agreed to do a one-off performance at the Katoomba RSL. This is an opportunity to hear their distinct musical personalities combining to create a terrific banjo picking partnership.
The concert is at 8pm, tickets $75. See www.katoombarsl.com.au.
