As they celebrate 25 years together, Greensky Bluegrass unveil a new take on their beloved song “Windshield,” now featuring longtime collaborator Holly Bowling. Listen to/share the song HERE. Watch the official music video HERE.

“It’s hard to convey how important Holly is to our band,” says Paul Hoffman. “She fits right in musically, personally and spiritually. I absolutely adore making music with her. During Covid we played a show as a duo, and it was my first experience reconnecting with another musician in a while. We played ‘Windshield,’ and I didn’t even want to play. We’ve done it live a few times since. Most notably last year in the audience at Red Rocks. By far one of the most powerful performance moments of my life.”

“Windshield” is the latest preview from the band’s forthcoming album, XXV, due October 31 via Big Blue Zoo Records/Thirty Tigers—a special anniversary release landing on the exact date of the band’s formation. Pre-order the album HERE.

Ahead of the album, the band has shared re-imagined versions of fan-favorites “Reverend” featuring bluegrass superstar and Grammy-Award winner Billy Strings, “Old Barns” and “Can’t Stop Now” featuring Sam Bush.

Tomorrow, the band will take the stage for their 20th performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, alongside opener Margo Price.

“We’ve called on some dear friends to breathe a touch of new life into some classic Greensky songs for your listening pleasure,” says dobroist Anders Beck. “We’ve reinvented the sounds of some of our (dare I say) ‘hits’ because after a quarter century of Greensky Bluegrass, with plenty of new music on the horizon, we believe it's worth celebrating what the five of us have created together… and we want you to have a damn good time listening to it.”

Greensky Bluegrass started at an impromptu show in 2000 in Kalamazoo, Michigan and have developed into a marquee live act and staple in the progressive bluegrass space. XXV brings together many friends and collaborators of the band throughout their 25-year run—Sam Bush, Billy Strings, Lindsay Lou, Nathaniel Rateliff, Aoife O’Donovan, Holly Bowling and more. Each of these special guests represent chapters of the band’s continued journey.

The group is on the road for a host of headline and festival dates across North America, continuing their landmark 25th year. Stops include Charlotte, Milwaukee, Miami Beach, Jacksonville and Madison, as well as two special hometown anniversary shows at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, MI on October 31 and November 1. See HERE for tickets and additional information.

For over two decades, progressive bluegrass band Greensky Bluegrass—Anders Beck (dobro), Michael Arlen Bont (banjo), Dave Bruzza (guitar), Mike Devol (upright bass), and Paul Hoffman (mandolin)—have become known for their dynamic live performances and extensive touring schedule. With music reflecting their own lives and collective experiences, their songwriting stays true to traditional bluegrass. The band’s die-hard fans travel in droves across the country and pack multiple-night show runs at iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Ryman.
