Not much to say about this one except - go, go tonight and come back on Monday night. I think it’s a must-see show, and a highlight of the pops season. I’ve heard rumors (quite possibly untrue) that this is the last tour of the Flecktones, so it’s literally a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them live in Portland for one last time. Rarely do I have the pleasure of just sitting and drinking in such incredible musicianship with an awestruck grin on my face. I know, you’re saying to yourself, “it’s just a banjo” - trust me, it’s much, much more - get your tickets now!
