Greensky Bluegrass, the winners of the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, will perform live on WFDU-FM's 'Lonesome Pine RFD' with host Carol Beaugard on Friday (7/30) at 11 am EDT. Band members Anders Beck (dobro), Michael Arlen Bont (banjo), Dave Bruzza (guitar), Mike Devol (upright bass) and Paul Hoffman (mandolin) will play an explosive hour of their signature mix of traditional/jam band rock influenced Americana sounds.
Greensky Bluegrass is touring in support of their recently released fourth album, “Five Interstates”, which was produced by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth. The album features twelve original tracks and one traditional bluegrass song (a nod to the deceased King of Bluegrass, Jimmy Martin) and showcases the band’s songwriting and playing talents. Since winning the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest, Greensky has played over 170 shows a year. Recent highlights include sharing the stage with musical heroes, such as Tony Rice and Peter Rowan, Sam Bush, Yonder Mountain String Band and Railroad Earth.
The band will be onstage Friday night (7/30) at Mexicali Live, located at 1409 Queen Ann Road in Teaneck, NJ (www.mexicalilive.com). Showtime is 10:30 pm.
Carol Beaugard's 'Lonesome Pine RFD' is heard in the NYC metro area on 89.1, WFDU-FM (streamed live on www.wfdu.fm). The show is also carried on WAMU's 'Bluegrass Country'. Check www.bluegrasscountry.org for show times and program date for the live performance by Greensky Bluegrass.
