869 Miles and Endless Smiles: The Telluride Bluegrass Festival Through the Eyes of A First Timer

Estimated read time 11 min read

Telluride lived up to the hype!!! There were howls at the “super moon,” tarp runs, tributes to one of our favorites, Levon Helm, new friends, and old friends. From The Mayor of Telluride, Mr. Sam Bush, to up-and-comers, Lake Street Dive, the music was top notch from morning till night. Was it all about the banjo? No. Was it all about music? No. Telluride Bluegrass is an experience and the best word to describe it is “legendary.”

Greensky Bluegrass – February 8th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

Greensky Bluegrass raged for a packed house on Wednesday night at The Bluebird Theater here in the Jamgrass capital of the world…sunny Colorado! The crowd was surprisingly diverse and no one was acting like it was a Wednesday night. The beer flowed, the brains fried, and the Banjo rang-out like there was no tomorrow. There is an outlaw element to Greensky’s sound as they blend roots and jam while not sacrificing musicianship for speed to create one of the most mature sounds in the Jamgrass genre.
