Greensky Bluegrass Workshop - Happy Hour?

[TimberHo]

Anybody know what this is all about?  Will the band be performing a whole show or?  1st time to TBF so not sure what all goes on with these workshops.

Thx!

I imagine they'll be demonstrating the complexities of a margarita machine.

Actually, anything goes here.  Punch Brothers did the last couple of Happy Hour sets in Elks Park and put on truly memorable performances.  Expect a very fun event.

Elk's Park is in the middle of downtown, about a 10 minute walk from the fest.  It seats about 200 or so, on the grass, the hill or the structures around it.  You can get there early and sit within 8 feet of the musicians.  The sound is very good there.

Some workshops are less like mini-performances.  Some of the artists will take questions and requests.  Most of the time it's just a very intimate performance.  You really should make time to see one!!

My guess is that this will be a really intimate performance rather than a traditional workshop. I'd expect a lot of people to show up for this one, so be prepared to get there early if you want a good seat out of the sun.

Cool thanks

In the past that set has been a Punch Brothers set with an alcohol theme and it's been AWESOME; I sort of assume Greensky will take that same approach to it ... But either way, it is likely to be a strong set on a much smaller stage, so get there early if you're prioritizing it!

Gee wiz I have contracted a horrible case of the TBF FOMS (fear of missing something) over this set. I really want to see this, but I loves me some Johnny C too gees I wish I could clone myself!

That's my thought. In the end, I'll be at John Cowan. He's missed the last several festivals and Greensky comes through Montana about twice a year. Not to mention I'll be getting two sets of them at String Summit next month.

Good point Sugar, and I am interested in the John McFee and friends thing too.

There are no bad options here...and no good ones...if you know what I mean...No matter what you go to, you'll see a great show, and miss another great performance going on somewhere else...so many great bands, so little time. ;-)  

No matter how you play it, I like your odds of having an awesome time.
