✔️ Béla Fleck w/Victor Wooten/Roy “Futureman” Wooten Three quarters of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones arrive in Clearwater when Fleck himself, bassist Victor Wooten and percussionist Roy Wooten play Capitol Theatre without multinstrumentalist Henry Levy, who isn’t slated to rejoin his Flecktones bandmates until a summer tour. Fleck is a certified banjo demon whose playing is certifiably surreal, so expect to get lost in his plucky sauce at this one. (Capitol Theatre, Clearwater) INFO
