Following his sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Ryman in Nashville, Tenn. Béla Fleck has announced he will expand his My Bluegrass Heart tour. The performances explore the beloved banjoist’s latest offering My Bluegrass Heart and welcomes an ensemble featuring the most skilled and respected bluegrass musicians around.
Of the tour’s third run–which kicks off tonight at Savannah Music Festival in Savanah, Ga.– Fleck said in a release, “We’re reuniting the incredible first band—but with one change. Fiddler Stuart Duncan joins Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, Mark Schatz, Bryan Sutton and me. It’s time for the banjo player in the band to practice feverishly, because keeping up with this gang is no joke. It’s also one of the great joys!
Fleck will continue to perform his album, which is nominated for the 2022 Best Bluegrass Grammy, into April making stops at theaters including the Tarrytown Music Hall, in Tarrytown N.Y., The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Del., the Knight Theater Charlotte, N.C. and more. He’ll continue with four shows in May including one at Del Fest, along with a few shows in June.
