Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet

Another review from my colleague Emily Young:
Who knew bluegrass tunes sung in Mandarin Chinese could be so good?
My husband and I were treated to some fabulously bizarre music by Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet at Lowell’s Boarding House Park last night. And I mean that in a good way.
The band features legendary banjo star Bela Fleck, who has been nominated for about 21 Grammys and won eight, which was the draw for us. We quickly came to know the rest of the band — fiddler Casey Driessen, cellist Ben Sollee and vocalist Washburn on banjo — during their intimate, jovial performance.
