Greensky Bluegrass CD Release show.

The Loading Dock in Traverse City, Michigan.

Friday, March 5th at 10 PM.

 Traverse City Record Eagle: "Michigan isn't known for churning out bluegrass bands, but Greensky Bluegrass, one of our own, is holding a CD release party at the Loading Dock March 5. The five-piece group plays traditional bluegrass instruments and has been likened to l970s-era groups like The Band. However, Greensky band members shudder at comparisons. "We really just try to make music as a group that sounds and feels right to us," said mandolin player Paul Hoffman. He did admit, "It is nice to know that other people really dig it, too."
