For the first time in the Flecktones’ 35‑year saga, every core member who has ever powered the band’s sound—banjo trailblazer Béla Fleck, bassist Victor Wooten, percussive inventor Roy “Future Man” Wooten, original harmonica‑piano wizard Howard Levy, and longtime sax virtuoso Jeff Coffin—will share the same stage on a full tour. This unprecedented five‑piece lineup launches the “Jingle All The Way” Holiday Tour, pairing the group’s genre‑bending fireworks with the mesmerizing Tuvan throat singers of Alash for an evening of boundary‑smashing seasonal joy.
The twenty‑date run opens November 26 in Nashville, Tennessee, and weaves north and south through big‑band hotbeds and college towns alike—Nashville (IN), Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, Champaign, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Ithaca, Boston, Portland (ME), Burlington, New York City, Rochester, Philadelphia, Stony Brook, North Bethesda, Charlottesville, Durham, Athens, Atlanta, and wraps December 20 in New Orleans. Each night will pair the Flecktones’ genre‑defying virtuosity with Alash’s mesmerizing over‑tone singing, creating a once‑in‑a‑generation holiday experience.
An artist presale and limited‑capacity VIP Pre‑Show Experience open Tuesday, July 16 at 10 a.m. ET. Fans who use the code COSMICHIPPO will unlock early ticket access and the option to upgrade to the VIP package, which grants entry to an exclusive sound‑check performance, an intimate Q&A with the band, early venue access, advance merch shopping, a commemorative laminate, and a premium merchandise gift. Public on‑sale dates will follow in each market.
Whether you’ve followed the Flecktones since their groundbreaking 1990 debut or you’re discovering their boundary‑blurring brilliance for the first time, the “Jingle All The Way” Holiday Tour offers a rare chance to witness five master improvisers—and their remarkable guests—creating music that is at once joyous, daring, and deeply communal.
