Greensky Bluegrass on Tour
It might not be out of line to call Greensky Bluegrass the Grateful Dead of the progressive bluegrass scene. Like the Dead, they combine several strands of American musical tradition into a sound that's best experienced in concert and leaves plenty of room for jamming, and, true to form, their live recordings are as enthusiastically received as their studio albums. In fact, members of the Dead have collaborated with Greensky at various points. And while their repertoire contains powerful original material, Greensky have also become known for transforming popular tunes from disparate genres into something all their own. Amid a batch of their own tunes, in concert they might tackle The Allman Brothers Band's "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," Prince's "1999" or Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." But whatever enters their set, and no matter the source, it ends up definitively Greensky.
Greensky Bluegrass in Concert
Kalamazoo, Michigan, is the birthplace of one of the most unique bands in progressive bluegrass. It was in 2009 that banjo player Michael Bont, mandolinist Paul Hoffman and guitarist Dave Bruzza formed the first incarnation of Greensky Bluegrass in Kalamazoo. By the time they released their debut album, Less Than Supper, in 2004, dobro man Al Bates and bass player Chris Carr had come aboard as well. Personnel changes have occurred since then, and while the original trio remains at the core of Greensky Bluegrass, they were eventually joined by bassist Mike Devol and dobro player Anders Beck in a lineup that has developed a musical language all its own. Naturally, that language draws most strongly from Greensky's bluegrass roots, but it also incorporates elements of rock, folk, jazz and more. Not only has the band long been a mainstay of the biggest bluegrass festivals, their knack for improvisational excursions has also earned them a place of honor on the jamband circuit. But then, Greensky's ability to engage a multitude of audiences has always been at the heart of the band's appeal.?Previously, Greensky Bluegrass has sold out venues to capacity, like Tabernacle and House of Blues.
The concert was excellent!!! We have seen them many times and love them every time!! We met two girls age early 20s it was their first time seeing them and they can’t wait to see them again! Thank you GreenSky Bluegrass!! Have fun at Red Rocks!!
Great show! Wilma is preferred smaller venue compared to Kettlehouse for a couple sets of great music. This show was more akin to their earlier shows back in Kalamazoo where the jams and space vibes played second fiddle to the more traditional sound of the band. Can’t wait for the next one.
The venue was great. Very beautiful location and the band was awesome.
First off, the music was GREAT!!!. The venue is in a really pretty outdoor setting. One of those places where any seat is a good seat. In fact, unless you need to be right on top of the band, I would not spend for premier seating here. Log Still/Monks Road has a neat venue here. A great way to attract people to their location. But why charge me an additional $20 for parking??? It's in the middle of a field and there was no lack of parking. Drinks $15 per. Food limited. If you wanted to try anything in their "tasting room"it was an additional $50 just to get in ??? I'm sorry, I just felt taken by all of that. Would I go to this venue again? For the right music, the experience is nice, it was a beautiful evening with my wife. But next time, eyes wide open. No premier tickets. Eat before arriving.
I started at a rainy night, but came all together for a beautiful show! Thanks boys! NFA!
Band sounded good IF you were in the very crowded arena. Peripheral areas are muffled and vocals weren't clear anywhere. Band needs to interact more with audience. Never gave introductions till the encore!? Stage needs to be elevated if ya can't slant the floor more for better sight line for audience. Saw them in Delaware and they were much more audience friendly. ??? Plenty of bars and not overpriced. Friendly crowd. Very cool outside area if sound and video screen was better!
See title. In addition, the venue was small and nice. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and concessions were surprisingly cheap. Parking was free and was an easy in and out.
That was my first time to a Bluegrass concert and I absolutely loved it. It was the most relaxing most peaceful experience I’ve had in a long time. Thank you so much. ?? The talent was extraordinary absolutely mind blowing reminded me of my family in Tennessee ??
Amazing songwriters amazing singers amazing band for sure
Such an amazing place to see a showz! Highly recommended! Greensky was on fire! Great energy and amazing setlist!
