Some announcements seem like a dream come true! When we saw this supergroup perform in Raleigh at IBMA this past October, we assumed it would be a once in a life time opportunity. And now we are here to present that same opportunity to all of you on the Thomas Point Beach Stage.Over the last four decades, Béla Fleck has made a point of boldly going where no banjo player has gone before, a musical journey that has earned him 15 Grammys in nine different fields, including Country, Pop, Jazz, Instrumental, Classical and World Music. But his roots are in bluegrass, and that’s where he returns with his first bluegrass tour in 24 years, My Bluegrass Heart.
