Greensky Bluegrass

For two decades now, Greensky Bluegrass have been building an empire, brick by brick. They are widely known for their dazzling live performances and relentless touring schedule—only the tip of the complex tale of the five musicians making up the band: Anders Beck (dobro), Michael Arlen Bont (banjo), Dave Bruzza (guitar), Mike Devol (upright bass), and Paul Hoffman (mandolin). The five are connected through a deep bond; just as they are seasoned road warriors, they’re a band of brothers who’ve seen each other through decades of ups and downs, personal and collective highlights, and the moments when life turns it all upside down. They’re real people having real experiences. As with traditional bluegrass, they write about their own contemporary day-to-day happenings, emotions and experiences in the modern world. Their underground die-hard fans pack out venues across the country. They travel in droves and sell out multiple-night show runs at iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Ryman. And, band members note, Greensky Bluegrass isn’t all for money. They did it for romantic reasons such as love, catharsis, and because it mattered to them and their listeners. They love what we do and they’re grateful for the love they receive from the people listening.
