Archive material and source history

Abigail Washburn grew up in Evanston, Illinois and started playing banjo at fourteen. She learned from traditional Appalachian and bluegrass music, with mentors like Béla Fleck and Tony Trischka helping shape her approach to the instrument.

Her 2005 debut 'Song of the Traveling Daughter' came out on her own independent label. Songs like 'A Fuller Wine' and 'Banjo Pickin' Girl' show her way with a ballad and a picking pattern.

Washburn sometimes performs with her husband Béla Fleck on banjo and guitar, along with Kai Welch on cello and Ben Sollee on guitar and vocals.
