Greensky Bluegrass is a quintet from Kalamazoo, Michigan who have, for the last quarter century, been building a large following through constant touring and high-profile appearances on the festival and jam band circuit. As the name suggests, the group uses a bluegrass format from which it deviates into the light show theatrics and noodling passages more familiar to fans of Phish and the Grateful Dead. Tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Blue Lake Casino, you can dabble in
this world of precision pickin’ and jamberoo-ing for $50, $40 if you get your tickets in advance. To drive the jam band point home, local Dead celebration act The Magnificent Sanctuary Band will be playing the afterparty in the Wave Lounge starting around 9 p.m.
