Bela & Abby made Garden & Gun's list of must-see performances at this year's Big Ears Music Festival in Knoxville, TN.
Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck: One of Big Ears’ calling cards is that a handful of artists play multiple sets over the course of the festival’s four days. Banjo dynamos—and husband and wife—Fleck and Washburn will perform together, with Fleck playing another set with the string band Brooklyn Rider and Washburn with zither master Wu Fei, in a set that marries the sounds of Appalachia with Chinese folk music.
