“Greensky Bluegrass hits timeless targets with deadly accuracy
while simultaneously veering off the tired and true highway.” -

If you're familiar with bluegrass music, then you're tuned in to
some of what Greensky Bluegrass does. They're also known to throw a
great party, rock n roll, and (if the critics are to be believed)
they have great songs. They are unquestionably a team of friends
that traverse the country making music they enjoy. What makes
Greensky different than Bluegrass? Poignant rural ballads about real
people? Dobro tone that Jerry (Douglas or Garcia) would love?
Distortion Pedals? Grit and attitude from a whiskey soaked card
game? Indeed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
This quintet from Michigan has been staying up late at all the
coolest festivals and stopping to play your favorite clubs and
theaters across America for 11 years now. Nearly 175 shows per year
has prepared them for the rigorous task of continuity. Greensky
Bluegrass isn't slowing down. "They're coming to your town to help
you party down." Yeah. Really. Like you never thought possible.
At the start of the millenium,some of these guys met, then they
met more guys. They thought Greensky was a clever name for a
bluegrass band. Fast forward to 2011 when they recorded their fourth
studio record, called Handguns. Among them, words like, "proud,"
"killer," and "damn right!" have been spoken in regards to the music
of Handguns.
While they all may be accurate, we hope you'll find far more than
you expected, hell - even more than we expected contained in this
piece work that may well come to define one of 21st Century
America's hardest working musical ensembles. |
