Enter to win tickets: Béla Fleck’s first bluegrass tour in 24 years is coming to Atlanta
Béla Fleck has spent the last four decades boldly going where no banjo player has before, racking up 15 Grammys across nine different genres. But for all the variety in his storied career, Fleck’s roots - and heart - have always remained in bluegrass.

The tour marks the third chapter of a decade-spanning bluegrass trilogy that began with the iconic 1988 album, “Drive.” “My Bluegrass Heart” features a who’s who from the modern bluegrass music scene, including collaborations with Chris Thile (mandolin), Billy Strings (guitar), Edgar Meyer (bass), Sam Bush (fiddle), Noam Pikelny (banjo), David Grisman (mandolin) and others.
On tour, Fleck’s bringing a talented group of Grammy Award-winning and nominated players to form the My Bluegrass Heart band, including fiddler Billy Contreras, mandolinist Jacob Jolliff, multi-instrumentalist Justin Moses, bassist/multi-instrumentalist Mark Schatz and guitarist Bryan Sutton.
Located in the heart of Atlanta’s rapidly-growing Reynoldstown neighborhood, The Eastern is a one-of-a-kind venue that offers unrivaled stage views and top-of-the-line sound and lights. The venue boasts a spacious floorplan and rooftop, which includes a covered performance space, bar, restaurant, and open-air seating. You will not be disappointed attending an event here, have fun!
