Béla Fleck recently paid a visit to New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater to sit in with Louis Cato and The Late Show Band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The bluegrass phenom was one of many recent special guests to join Cato and The Late Show Band, including Cory Wong, John Scofield, Joe Walsh, and Meshell Ndegeocello, though, to date, Fleck has been the only banjo player.

In a newly shared clip posted by The Late Show, Fleck joins Cato and the band for a high-energy rendition of “Big Country”, a tune that has been a staple in Fleck’s arsenal during his recent tours with his project My Bluegrass Heart.

Watch Béla Fleck play “Big Country” with Louis Cato and The Late Show Band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert below. Fleck has upcoming tour dates in Japan and around the U.S. Click below for a full list of shows, and to purchase tickets, visit his website.
