Bela Fleck is often considered the premier banjo player in the world. A New York City native, he picked up the banjo at age 15. He has virtually reinvented the image and the sound of the banjo through a remarkable performing and recording career that has taken him all over the musical map and on a range of solo projects and collaborations. If you are familiar with him, you know that he just loves to play the banjo and put it into unique settings. Bela began his musical career playing the guitar. In the early 1960′s, while watching the Beverly Hillbillies, the bluegrass sounds of Flatt & Scruggs flowed out of the TV set and into his young brain. Earl Scruggs’s banjo style hooked Bela’s interest immediately. “It was like sparks going off in my head” he later said. It wasn’t until his grandfather bought him a banjo in September of ’73 that it became his full time passion. The recipients of Multiple Grammy Awards going back to 1998, his total Grammy count is 11 Grammys won, and 27 nominations. He has been nominated in more different categories than anyone in Grammy history.

Bruce Hornsby is an American singer, pianist, accordion player and songwriters. Known for the spontaneity and creativity of his live performances, Hornsby draws frequently from classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock, blues and jam band musical traditions with his songwriting and the seamless improvisations contained within. Hornsby’s recordings have been recognized on a number of occasions with industry awards, including the Best New Artist Grammy 1987 with Bruce Hornsby and the Range, the Best Bluegrass Recording Grammy in 1989, and the Best Pop Instrumental Grammy in 1993. Hornsby has also achieved recognition for his solo albums and performances, his current live act Bruce Hornsby & the Noise Makers, his bluegrass project with Ricky Scaggs, his jazz act The Bruce Hornsby Trio, and his appearances as a session- and guest-musician. He also collaborated with the Grateful Dead and was a part time member of the band from September 1990 to April 1992.
