Yellow Eyes & Prom Night w/ Rayland Baxter | September 14, 2019
Greensky Bluegrass showed love for singer-songwriter Rayland Baxter by debuting a cover of his song “Yellow Eyes” at the 2016 Del Fest. The quintet first performed “Yellow Eyes” less than a year after Baxter released the original on his 2015 studio album Imaginary Man. Greensky covered the song occasionally over the remainder of 2016 and into 2017. Last year, the quintet had a chance to perform “Yellow Eyes” with Baxter when Rayland opened for GSBG at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado on September 14, 2019. Rayland handled lead vocals and shredded on guitar for “Yellow Eyes” during Greensky’s first set and stuck around to add to the band’s debut cover of Robin Davis’ “Prom Night.”

Atlantic City w/ Aoife O’Donovan | September 21, 2019
It isn’t often Greensky Bluegrass will play a festival set without welcoming a special guest and the tradition continued when the band made their FreshGrass debut on September 21, 2019 at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. Greensky was joined by singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan for a trio of songs in the middle of their set. Aoife, the festival’s “artist-in-residence,” sat-in with the quintet on Greensky originals “Merely Avoiding” and “What You Need.” Then, as seen in the video above, O’Donovan led GSBG on a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City.” Both Greensky Bluegrass and Aoife O’Donovan have included “Atlantic City” in their respective live repertoires dating back to the early 2010s.
