This New Year's Eve, Greensky Bluegrass brings their progressive bluegrass to Chicago. The five-piece, originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, has been active since 2000 with a blend of acoustic string-band instrumentation and rock-and-roll energy. Known for their full light show, the band delivers a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional bluegrass.

The band's sound, described as 'not quite bluegrass,' draws from varied influences. Their journey from open mic nights to winning the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition in 2006 has shaped a live show that mixes acoustic stomp with rock-and-roll rule-breaking.
