Greensky Bluegrass On The Road In 2016

January and February’s forecast is calling for days upon days of blue skies and green grass. Wait, scratch that – Greensky Bluegrass! That’s more like it. The group just announced dates for its Winter Tour 2016, which launches with two nights in St. Louis.

Serving up a mix of Americana, bluegrass and indie rock, the quintet from Kalamazoo, Mich., features Anders Beck on dobro and lap steel, Michael Arlen Bont on banjo and vox, Dave Bruzza on guitar and lead vox, Mike Devol on acoustic bass and vox, and Paul Hoffman on mandolin and lead vox.

Greensky Bluegrass has a ton of gigs left on its 2015 calendar, including tonight’s show in Bend, Ore., at the Domino Room. After playing two hometown shows during Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 27-28, the band heads to Cancun, Mexico, for “Strings & Sol” Dec. 11 and 13.
