ECLECTICA
(USA)

Performance Date

Saturday, May 29

Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater

 

Not just another funk/world/rock/jazz/classical ensemble, Eclectica is a virtuoso groove event. This genre-defying band features the 5 time Grammy Award–winning drumming of ROY "FUTUREMAN" WOOTEN, of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and electric violin virtuoso TRACY SILVERMAN, heralded by the BBC as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin.” Bass legend STEVE FORREST completes the ensemble. PHIL LASSITER joins the band on Keys and trumpet.

ECLECTICA weaves sound-pieces together with a groove that is alive from the first note to the last encore, with sing-along choruses and creative jams that can lead in any direction. With 3-part vocals and inspired synchronicity, ECLECTICA is a celebration and a concert on the same stage

 

"It's a remarkable blend of potent jamming, catchy songwriting, and an unexpectedly light vibe that makes Eclectica not just one of the year's most pleasant surprises, but one of the best side projects to ever come out of a Flecktone," AllAboutJazz.com
