Earlier this year, we teamed up with WGBH Music and caught up with Michigan quintet Greensky Bluegrass before their show at the Paradise Rock Club. Vanyaland managing editor Michael Christopher sat down with vocalist and mandolin player Paul Hoffman and dobro player Anders Beck to discuss the band’s Americana-tinged sound, and that interview will make its way to network television this weekend as part of WBGH’s collaboration with Crossroads Presents, Front Row Boston.
The episode will air Saturday night at 11 p.m. on WGBH 2, and online at frontrowboston.wgbh.org. The early portion of the show will feature Indiana folk-pop duo Lily & Madeline from their appearance at Cafe 939, and WGBH will be live-tweeting with @LilandMad tomorrow night at the start of the show using the hashtag #frontrowboston.
Previous Front Row episodes have featured Dropkick Murphys, Typhoon, and San Fermin, but this is the first one Vanyaland is a part of, so we’re doubly excited. It actually might be our television debut.
Cheers to WGBH for having us on board. Check a preview of the episode below…
