Spend Thanksgiving weekend with Greensky Bluegrass at historic Kalamazoo State Theatre! For more than a decade and a half, the members of Greensky Bluegrass have created their own version of bluegrass music, mixing the acoustic stomp of a stringband with the rule-breaking spirit of rock & roll. They redefine that sound once again with their sixth album, Shouted, Written Down & Quoted.
Find out why Rolling Stone claims that Greensky Bluegrass is – “Representing the genre for a whole new generation” this November. If you have yet to experience this high energy performance supported by top notch lighting and sound, now is the time! Plan ahead & start an unforgettable Thanksgiving tradition like no other!
