Beloved group Greensky Bluegrass continues to grow in popularity, affording them new and exciting opportunities. Yesterday marked one such occasion, as the band made their way to the historic Ryman Auditorium for their first-ever performance at the historic Nashville, TN venue. Greensky has had quite the whirlwind year, even getting to perform in front of a Bernie Sanders rally earlier this year. The chance to hit the main stage at the Ryman was certainly not lost on the band and their fans.The group played through two full sets, opening with the traditional “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” before bringing out a number of their original tunes, including “Demons,” “Wings for Wheels” and more. Among the many highlights of the show was its finale, an all-acoustic encore with Town Mountain. Together, the two groups sang the John Hartford classic “Tear Down The Grand Ole Opry,” a fitting choice to close out a great performance.Watch footage of the encore below, courtesy of disc13207.The full setlist from last night’s show can be seen below, courtesy of PT.Setlist: Greensky Bluegrass at The Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN – 7/7/16Set 1: Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Demons, Wings for Wheels, All Four, Take Cover, The Four, Burn Them, Jay Walking, GumbootsSet 2: I’m Working on a Building, Living Over, A Letter to Seymour, In Control, Can’t Stop Now, Reverend, Dry County> Time, Leap YearEncore: Tear Down The Grand Ole Opry11 – With Town Mountain, Acoustic[Photo via gracemade89/Instagram] read more
