One of the premiere banjo players in the world, Béla Fleck has reinvented that instrument with his focus on bluegrass, jazz, pop and classical styles. Thirty-time Grammy nominee and 15-time Grammy winner, Bela Fleck joined forces with musician Abigail Washburn in 2013 for a tour and release of their collaborative album debuting at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts. The fusion of their talents on the banjo and their passion for folk has created an unstoppable pair and powerful, ear-pleasing music and performances.
The Lower 5th shares their unique blend of Americana, which they simply call "Midwestern Soul."
We welcome all styles of music, comedy, spoken word, poetry, and more to take the stage every Wednesday on the Terrace.
