Manship Theatre Presents...

Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet featuring Bela Fleck with Casey Driessen & Ben Sollee

Friday, May 2
8:00 p.m., $25-45

An extraordinary new ensemble of familiar names, Abigail Washburn and The Sparrow Quartet, featuring Béla Fleck, Ben Sollee, and Casey Driessen takes the stage at Manship Theatre, Baton Rouge on Friday, May 2.

Fleck, widely regarded as the premier banjo player in the world, is known for his genre-bending virtuosity. The Sparrow Quartet unites Fleck’s mastery with Washburn’s virtuoso banjo, Sollee’s cello and classically trained Driessen’s bluegrass fiddle for a sound no folk fan can resist.

This special group was assembled for a performance for the U.S. State Department in Tibet and is now touring in America.
