Greensky Bluegrass, February 15
It makes total sense that an American band that recorded a new EP out in Iceland would be cool with a winter tour across our land, and that’s exactly what Greensky Bluegrasshave in store for the cold months ahead. The Michigan bluegrass jam band with one of the more clever names in all of music unveiled a North American winter tour, and included in the run is a February 15 romp at Boston’s Citizens House of Blues. The Iceland Sessions, out now, was recorded at the remote Flóki Studios in the remote north, and the band says this about the experience: “We embraced the disorienting inspiration and played late into the night as the sun never left us, all the while still developing lyrics and figuring out harmonies and arrangements. We swam in the cold water. We saw more sheep than people for days. We listened to the birds sing through the night while we charged through each song. A recording project that felt like a whirlwind at times turned into something calm and peaceful that felt more creative and raw than anything we’ve done before. Fully aware that we could continue to work on this later, we decided to commit to what we created in Iceland and have the recording be truly a moment in time.” Tickets go on sale Friday (November 1) at 10 a.m. local time.
