As an “artist who best embodies the notion of Americana as a worldwide musical language” (The Tennessean), Abigail Washburn has created a new sound that challenges traditional notions of country and culture --exemplified in the raw, transcendental music of the Sparrow Quartet, the all-star collaboration including Béla Fleck, acclaimed cellist Ben Sollee, and Grammy-nominated fiddler, Casey Driessen. Produced by Fleck and composed/arranged by the unconventional foursome, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet (May 2008) features an unprecedented combination of two banjos (clawhammer and three-finger-style), cello, and five-string fiddle that unfolds in a dreamlike chamber suite.
