Tickets for the newly announced 2023 Béla Fleck and the Flecktones tour dates go on sale on Friday via the band’s website.
Béla Fleck and the Flecktones were originally due to go out on tour in 2020, but those plans were canceled due to the pandemic. In 2021, Fleck released My Bluegrass Heart featuring an array of celebrated contemporary bluegrass musicians including Billy Strings, Sam Bush, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Chris Thile, and many more. Following the return of live music, Fleck hit the road, taking the album on tour with Michael Cleveland, Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, Mark Schatz, and Bryan Sutton.
