Greensky Bluegrass have come a long way since they played at the Boulevard Festival in Logan Square in 2014. See our preview of that performance here which describes how they “deftly weave rock, folk, blues, country and yes, bluegrass”.  

For the second song of the night, they play “In Control” from their 2014 album, If Sorrows Swim. It’s a beautiful song that showcases their bluegrass mixed with jam band style.  

At the end of the opening set, the crowd erupts as they launch into their Pink Floyd covers of “Time” and “Breathe”. Everyone is joyfully singing and dancing along to this fantastic interpretation. 

In the middle of the second set, during “Grow Together” from their 2022 album, Stress Dreams, in the middle of the audience, a man drops down to one knee and proposes to his girlfriend. With tears in her eyes, she says yes and they embrace in a big kiss while the crowd surrounding them cheers. “No matter how far we’ve come / Still the same thing on my mind / That we can grow old together / If we can find the time.” With lyrics like those, it is a great choice for a proposal!

To start the encore, they play an unreleased song. Afterwards, the lead singer says, “I bet you can guess the name of that song! It’s Chicago!” 

Overall, it’s a fantastic night of music that had similarly great vibes as at the Salt Shed last summer on 4^th of July weekend, when My Morning Jacket played.
