They deserve a damn thread. They've been killing it for years but now they're starting to make some moves.

They're phenomenal musicians and solid song writers in my opinion.

Idk, I try not to make a thread for every good band but these guys have been killing it and it's great to finally see them moving up in venues/crowds, and getting some respect.

Band is going places. Crazy the tiny dives they've been slaying all these years. So fucking happy for them.

Agreed, love the bluegrass and folk genre.

Not really the same genre, but I feel the same way about both of these Bands

FUCK YEAAAAAAAH I'VE SEEN THEM TWICE NOW.

In Control is my new fav song I think. I've been bumping it frequently. These guys kill it.

Yeah for some reason they were overshadowed by yonder even when they were killing it and yonder wasnt. That's a thing of the past now, and these guys are on the hunt. Can't wait to see them more(although I'm going to be gone all summer)

Hopefully I can get to a bells brewery run before they get to big to play it again. Went there for moe. 4 years ago, cool spot.

They've been that band that I haven't seen a ton(compared to others) but I've always almost jumped on tour for a bit. Good to see they're touring more nationally now and easier to see.

Was going to do the northeast run end of summer but I got super sick and couldn't drive anywhere. Idk, I need more greensky in my life.

Greensky has been my shit lately! They do my favorite version of China Cat Sunflower into I Know You Rider besides the Dead's of course. Super talented guys and so much fun to see play live!

Saw them in Burlington this January, they sounded amazing but it felt like the energy wasn't really there. Honestly had more fun dancing to the opener Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.

its all what youre into but while I love some good fast pickin, id go for good songwriting and musicianship over mediocre with "eenergy". Yonder was meh to me though decent songwriting but the musicianship blew. Just had jeff dancing around high as fuck and everyone gobbled it up.

just a heads up boys. MPP is pretty insane. For events like phish they have borderline military police. Cameras around and dudes on golf carts. You could light one up at your car and a minute later have a car with 4 dudes in boots show up.

Also all good was around long enough to build a reputation with law enforcement. The last year at marvins in 2011 they had local police, state police, dea, homeland security and I heard the fbi was there as well but not sure.

So be carefull. Mpp is cool just be careful. The sheraton will probably be the party spot. Might already be sold out but its walking distance.

Have fun

oh im from DC, i know how MPP can get. im not too worried about the security, i just hate the venue.

on a brighter note; there is a hippie who frequents the bar i work at that went to dead show back in the early 80s. he said it was raining the whole time so they made a huge mud slide from the top of the grass all the way down to the pavillion part. sounds legendary

Just putting this here as it has yet to be mentioned. It's the first song I heard from Greensky and has had me hooked since.

They blew the fuck up. Doing 2 nights at Red Rocks this summer and selling the Ogden which is like 1700 capacity as "an intimate show". Stoke for them though. Always liked them. Glad I got to catch 2 nights at the belly up last winter and 400 or 450 capacity.

I just remember running across all good in 2011 to make their set. But had just eaten some food. Was a hot day. Ended up throwing up next to the stage and then raging the rest of it.

Word, I'll check em out now. Just found this thread while looking for other bluegrass threads on NS. But hard to find stuff searching these days.

Been listening to more Trampled by Turtles again recently(even though they aren't playing) and some smaller bands, and some slower folkier stuff.

Also Greensky just announce their own fest a few hours after I bumped this. Weird. I might have to check it out. It's the week after summercamp so it'd be perfect to hit after scamp.



Not sure my summer plans yet though. But I don't see why I couldn't stay around till early june.
