Béla Fleck

Béla Fleck (b. 1958) is a Grammy Award-winning banjo player famous for performing in several genres of music, including country, pop, jazz, bluegrass, classical and folk. As a soloist, and with his group The Flecktones, he has performed with the likes of Dave Matthews Band, Evelyn Glennie and Joshua Bell.
He appeared on Sesame Street in a segment introduced in voice-over by Count von Count to play the "rarely performed" so-called "Concerto for Banjo and Two Chickens" (which is actually "The Blue Danube" waltz by Johann Strauss II). 
He also appears with the same two chickens (performed by Martin P. Robinson and Kevin Clash) in a celebrity montage of "Sing."
