It's crazy what the banjo can accomplish when in the right hands. This Friday evening inside the Davis Theatre, the right hands will be those of Tray Wellington, a banjo virtuoso whose strumming has earned him numerous awards, including the 2019 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year and, along with his bandmates, the 2019 Momentum Band of the Year.
Banjo virtuoso Tray Wellington has been featured on several TV shows, including Davis Holt's “State of Music.” Last year, he was featured in Kamau Bell's CNN show, “United Shades of America.” Wellington plays in the Davis Theatre on Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $27 at https://bit.ly/TrayTix.
