As a fundraiser for KPOV, Bend's community radio station, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are coming to Bend tonight to play some of their holiday tunes.

The show is at 7pm tonight out at Mountain View High School and the last I heard, there were still some tickets available. I interviewed Fleck last week and we talked mostly about Christmas music (and how to make it un-cheesy) and also about his long career with the Flecktones. You can read that profile here.

Here's some footage of the Flecktones doing "Jingle Bells" with the help of Alash, the Tuvan throat singers who will also be on hand tonight.
