Banjo pickers Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn return to the road together this December for a series of dates in support of 2017’s Echo In The Valley. The husband-wife duo continues the tour into early-2019. Fleck and Washburn also shared video featuring renowned dance troupe Pilobolus that pairs two songs from Echo In The Valley.

Up first for Béla and Abigail is a run through California this December featuring stops in Los Angeles, Irvine, Solana Beach, Santa Cruz, Sacramento and Berkeley. The pair begins 2019 with January appearances in Virginia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina. Fleck and Washburn then head to the Midwest for four shows in February and focus on the Northeast in April.

Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn enlisted Pilobolus for a video featuring “Come All You Coal Miners” and “Take Me To Harlan” from Echo In The Valley. Appalachian balladeer Sarah Ogan Gunning wrote the former, while Fleck and Washburn wrote the latter. The video mixes footage filmed during Béla and Abigail’s time on the road as well as from the pair’s visit to Pilobolus’ studio in Connecticut.
