Greensky Bluegrass

Episode 196: The String's spotlight on the contemporary jamgrass scene continues with a career-spanning conversation with Paul Hoffman (mandolin) and Mike Devol (bass) of Greensky Bluegrass. The band formed at local bars and breweries in Kalamazoo, MI just over 20 years ago, and they've found a groove and a rapport with their instruments and audience that most bands dream of. After winning the Telluride Bluegrass Festival band contest in 2006, they've had national reach and a huge fan base. Their brand new album is Stress Dreams.
