Hear The Music

The best thing to do is to see Bela live. The Flecktones are an amazing live show, with energy and talent that will blow your mind. They are almost always on the road, and seem to go overseas at least once a year, so your chances of getting to see them are very good. Check the Tour Schedule for more information.

If you can't see a live show soon enough, try a CD. Live Art is a great sampler of the Flecktones' live work.

Bela appears in a number of performance videos. Here are the currently known ones:
