Greensky Bluegrass delivered two sets at the Charleston Bluegrass Festival at the Woodlands Nature Preserve in Charleston, South Carolina on Saturday. The quintet welcomed Yonder Mountain String Band fiddler Allie Kral in the first set as well as guitarist Larry Keel in the second.
GSBS kicked off the first set with the staple “Past My Prime” ahead of the title track to their 2022 album Stress Dreams. After “Take Cover,” the band paired up “Wish I Didn’t Know” — off the group’s previous record, 2019’s All For Money — and Stress Dreams’ “New & Improved” followed by the album’s “Until I Sing.” Kral then emerged to add fiddle on a pair of tunes from GSBG’s 2016 LP Shouted, Written Down & Quoted: “Fixin’ To Ruin” and “Run Or Die” to close out the first frame.

Greensky got the second set underway by linking up “Reasons To Stay” and “Old Barns.” After the staple, “Leap Year,” GSBG welcomed Larry Keel on guitar for the classic “I’d Probably Kill You.” Keel stuck around to help the quintet out on the Stress Dreams cut, “Monument.” Greensky then went it alone for a two-song set-closing segment of “Windshield,” off the band’s 2014 record If Sorrows Swim, and “Living Over.” GSBG returned for an encore which saw guitarist Dave Bruzza leading the band through his “Wings For Wheels.” All told, the band delivered two all original sets.
