Béla Fleck & The Flecktones

Béla Fleck & The Flecktones
August 28, 7:30pm
The Shedd Institute, Eugene Oregon

The Shedd Institute welcomes to Jaqua Concert Hall, legendary banjoist/composer/bandleader Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, the extraordinary initial line-up of his incredible combo with pianist/harmonica player Howard Levy alongside Fleck, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist/ Drumitarist Roy “Futureman” Wooten. Far from being a wistful trip back in time, the album sees the Grammy Award-winning quartet creating some of the most forward thinking music of their long, storied career. While all manners of genres come into play – from classical and jazz to bluegrass and African music to electric blues and Eastern European folk dances – the result is an impossible to pigeonhole sound all their own, a meeting of musical minds that remains, as ever, utterly indescribable. Simply put, it is The Flecktones, the music made only when these four individuals come together.

Join us for Dinners at Six before the show!

Thank you to our sponsors, The Eye Center, King Estate, and Summit Bank, for this concert.
