Twenty-five years after an impromptu house party in Kalamazoo, Michigan gave them their start on Halloween night 2000, Greensky Bluegrass arrives at Sherman Theater on Friday, July 24, carrying an anniversary album that earns the milestone. Three consecutive sold-out nights at Red Rocks and a Ryman headline tell you how far they have come.
About the Show
The album is XXV, released in October 2025 on the band’s exact 25th anniversary date, and its guest list reads like a map of who matters in modern bluegrass and Americana: Billy Strings, Sam Bush, Nathaniel Rateliff, Aoife O’Donovan, Lindsay Lou, Holly Bowling. Those collaborations say something about where Greensky stands — the band Rolling Stone called “representing the genre for a whole new generation,” whose 2019 album All For Money hit number one on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart. In the years since that house party, they have built from local act to a band that sold out Red Rocks three consecutive nights, a feat described as unheard of in their genre.
XXV is not only a celebration. The band also released Find Ourselves Lost: The Iceland Sessions, a documentary chronicling 2024 recording sessions in which members addressed their struggles with addiction and mental health with uncommon candor. It gives the twenty-five-year story a different kind of depth. Onstage, the chemistry of Anders Beck on dobro, Paul Hoffman on mandolin, Dave Bruzza on guitar, Mike Devol on upright bass, and Michael Arlen Bont on banjo remains the core of what Greensky offers live — five acoustic instruments sustaining the kind of energy that festival crowds and listening-room audiences come back to see, year after year. This summer also brings appearances at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Earl Scruggs Music Festival, a touring schedule that reflects where the band stands in progressive bluegrass today.
Venue & Logistics
Sherman Theater sits on Main Street in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, a 1,800-capacity room that draws audiences from across the Hudson Valley and the broader mid-Atlantic region. For a band that routinely fills festival fields, this is a different kind of show: close enough to watch Beck work the dobro and catch the nuance the big rooms inevitably blur. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. All ages welcome; 21 and older with valid ID to drink.
