Greensky Bluegrass

[Gundo]

Don't really think I'm missing out on yet another bluegrass rendition of some GD tunes. It's probably the easiest style to cover those songs anyways. There's plenty of other catalogs out there that I would happily shit my pants over. I'll even admit that Greensky's rendition of Rift is badass.

I think greensky is def taking over the yonder slot
they have good song writing and picking and throw in nice covers and some songs are like 20+ and its kinda hard to do that with a bluegrass band that isnt just trading off solos

They have been throwing eyes into their normal sets now just cuz I feel like they worked on it and want people to hear it since they got cut from the line up at the sold out dear jerry show for the biscuits and like OAR or something. Railroad Earth got cut too.

The set is pretty straight forward bluegrass minus the eyes, and I would love to hear the other one > cryptical > other one, since they do step into some psychedelic bluegrass world in some of their jams, like When Doves Cry.
Also ripple encore would just cap it off, love that song and as an encore too

I meant I feel bad for you in that you are not into Greensky.

Last night the first set was the entire "five interstates" album and the second set was full rage. I def heard some guitar gently weeps and talking heads teases deep in the psychedelic ooze. Soooo yeah we're prob going to all 3 now. Tom Hamilton's American Babies open the next two nights and I'm super curious to see if him sitting in means a couple GD tunes.

If you like these guys you should also check out Cabinet and The Infamous Stringdusters

[JPhishman]

Never seen Cabinet but I love the Dusters as well. I was working hospitality at the late night tent at Northwest String Summit this summer and they played this awesome unplugged encore after we had to shut down the PA at 3:30am! They were all so psyched afterwards that the crowd was so attentive. Really cool experience and major highlight of this year's fest.

Love both those groups

Cabinet started in PA and came to MD pretty regularly tothe 8x10 club and I think delfest once
They are some high energy bluegrass as well, they do a nice Long Journey Home.

Thanks for that, I got hammered at the show that night and my memory of the 2nd set is foggy at best.

Really dug the Tom Hamilton sit in on 11/7 and the midnight moonlight>after midnight sandwich to close the run.
All around killer weekend.

Got the bluegrass taken care of now it's Karl D and Snarky Puppy this weekend!

Bump!

Caught these guys last night down here at House of Blues. Fun show. Will def see them again.

[GBL]

i might go see them over here in Des Moines at the end of February, if only because it's 5 minutes from my place

but I'll probably bail in the end lol.

I caught them in 2015 and was a tad underwhelmed but they may have gotten better since then. I was expecting more fast picking and musicianship but they were kind of slow and boring for the fest set that I caught.
