“There’s this great duality to our band,” reflects Greensky Bluegrass mandolinist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Hoffman. “We’re existing in a few different places at once: we’re a bluegrass band and a rock band, we’re song-driven and interested in extended improvisation.”

“We play acoustic instruments,” adds dobro player Anders Beck, “but we put on a rock’n’roll show. We play in bigger clubs and theaters, there’s a killer light show, and we’re as loud as your favorite rock band. It’s not easy to make five acoustic instruments sound like this – it’s something we’ve spent years working on.”

From these seemingly irreconcilable elements, the five members of Greensky Bluegrass have forged a defiant, powerful sound that, while rooted in classic stringband Americana, extends outwards with a fearless, exploratory zeal. The tension and release between these components – tradition and innovation, prearranged songs and improvisation, acoustic tones and electric volume – is what makes them so thrillingly dynamic, in concert and on record. “In theory,” Hoffman explains, “greensky is the complete opposite of bluegrass. So, by definition, we are contrasting everything that isn’t bluegrass with everything that is.”

Chris Goscha (guitar/vocals) and Morgan Neher (drums) have compiled a demo of original recordings to recruit additional members in hopes of putting a band together. The recordings were meant to display the ability to write and record cohesive ideas in song form. As an example, vocals were used although a more advanced and full time vocalist would be preferred. We are currently looking for bass and vocals with the goals of continuing to write and record original songs and eventually play out live. We currently are pulling from various influences and are open to many styles with hopes to focus our direction as additional members are added. We are currently scheduling casual auditions for interested musicians. Please submit any inquiries to dualistband@gmail.com.
