Bela Fleck Acoustic Trio Tickets

Bela Fleck is a legendary figure in modern banjo mastery, renowned for his versatility across bluegrass, classical crossover, jazz, and world music. In 2024–2025, Fleck partners with Edmar Castaneda (harp) and Antonio Sanchez (drums) to form BEATrio, a bold new trio that blends virtuosic instrumental technique with exploratory composition. BEATrio’s self-titled debut album is slated for release on May 16, 2025, featuring lead singles Archipelago and Western and Walnut, and a world tour announced for 2025. This project builds on Fleck’s history of genre-defying collaborations and multiple Grammy-winning work across categories.

Fleck’s virtuosic approach to the banjo paired with harp and drums in BEATrio pushes the boundaries of ensemble playing, inviting listeners into unexpected rhythmic and melodic textures. The project reflects Fleck’s long-running curiosity about combining traditional folk instruments with cutting-edge improvisation, and it’s attracting new audiences to the acoustic and modern classical canon.

Upcoming BEATrio tour dates in 2025 include stops in Minneapolis (The Dakota) March 24–25, a performance at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville on March 27, and two nights at Presidio Theatre in San Francisco March 29–30. Additional appearances are planned for May across the Northeast and West Coast, plus international legs. For listeners interested in festival settings, the Skaneateles Festival in New York hosted BEATrio on August 1, 2025, on a major festival bill.
