A couple of weeks ago, the BRC craftsman and spouse attended Bela Fleck`s spectacular touring show “My Bluegrass Heart” which appeared at an outdoor amphitheater near the shores of the Missouri River just outside our capital of Jefferson City. The troupe included (left to right)) Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, and premier banjoist Bela Fleck, and all three stars sequentially performed with their respective bands during the busy evening concert. Although the musicians were fresh from the clear mountain air of the Telluride Festival in Colorado, they were undaunted by a stifling mid Missouri summer heat wave and bugs fluttering throughout the stage lights.
The threesome of headliners united at the grand finale, and mandolinist Sam Bush led an enthralling quartet of fiddlers in a frenetic hoedown tune driven by the impeccable rhythms of veteran guitarist Bryan Sutton.
Despite the palpable humidity, it was a marvelous summer evening of energizing entertainment enjoyed by audience and musicians alike.
From the BRC: Can you ever have too much Bluegrass music? Nope.
