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.
First off if you haven’t had an opportunity to see this band. I highly suggest it. Secondly. The salt shed blew my mind. From views to sound to encounters. All around incredible. Last but not least I need to borrow your two thumbs to give this experience 4thumbs up
Phenomenal show from remarkably talented musicians. Fun crowd they draw full of good people. Fun venue.
Love the Salt Shed as a venue. Had been there last fall to an outdoor show and it was one of the best concerts. Inside is great, but we had general admission and it was a sold out show. We were stuck way in the back and there was no way to see the stage and thus the band. That was sort of a bummer. Otherwise it’s such an easy place to get to, security and tickets were great and beer lines move super fast. Band was also great, played two sets and was a lot of fun. Just wish we could have actually seen them!
High Hawks started things off and primed the crowd for two amazing sets from Greensky. The band was grooving and the music was tight with a few guests popping in to take the experience higher. If you think you don’t like Bluegrass music, they will probably change your mind….Go See The Show!
Great concert at an awesome venue. Had a great time at the salt shed. The band jammed and I can wait to get back to the salt shed again
This was my first concert at the Anthem on the Wharf in DC. I went to see Molly Tuttle and Greensky Bluegrass in the evening with friends. The parking was easy and close. The Brighton Restaurant next to the venue, where I met up before the concert was convenient and enjoyable. The Anthem ushers greeted me with kindness. When I entered the space, I was awestruck by the subtle beauty of the balconies, gold filigree lighting fixtures, and decor. Molly and Greensky rocked on to a crazy laser light show. There must have been at least three or four refreshment bars also with exquisite lighting that were never too crowded and offered quick and kind service, and many choices of food and drink. Even the clean, designer bathrooms on both sides of the venue were inspiring with a huge M and W over the doors, and plenty of modern porcelain conveniences that sprayed your butt with Chanel #5 and said, "Thank you for visiting."! NOT!!! :)
Great show and best venue! Love how easy it is to get a great spot!
Greensky was great. Huge problem was with getting on the door with my 2 day tickes. We got there a hour and a half early to get on the rail when the doors opened we were first to the ticket scanners after a 25 minute delay due to ticket issues we were finally available to get in. Very Frustrating there were about 20 people with the same issue all with 2 day tickes
Like the Grateful Dead, but with a banjo. They bring the phunk to the bluegrass.
Light show was just a distraction. We were there to see the playing of your instruments. Why were you often in the dark or shadows? You said you usually don’t play on Sunday, perhaps you needed night off. Opening act, Melt, was terrific.
