Bob Harris Country - Abigail Washburn in session

In session with Bob is Clawhammer banjo player and singer-songwriter Abigail Washburn. She emerged in the early 2000s with the all-female string band Uncle Earl and released a solo album a few years later. In 2008, on the album Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet, she joined forces with a group of acclaimed acoustic musicians, including banjoist Bela Fleck and explored the connections between old-time Americana and traditional Chinese poetry and folk songs. In tonight's show she plays acoustic songs from her latest solo album City of Refuge.
