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.

TREY ANASTASIO has announced that he will be releasing his first-ever solo acoustic album, MERCY, this Friday, March 11.

Below are excerpts from the album’s liner notes written by David Fricke:

Music and outdoor enthusiasts alike can look forward to an eventful few months ahead at Beech Mountain Resort with the return of its annual concert series taking place this summer.
