Michigan-natives Greensky Bluegrass have been out on the road this fall, touring relentlessly in support of their new album Shouted, Written Down & Quoted. With such a rigorous touring schedule, GSBG hasn’t had much time to sit down and watch baseball, but they weren’t going to let historical moment in the sport’s history go uncelebrated.
Greensky was performing at the Scoot Inn in Austin, TX when they heard that the Chicago Cubs had secured their first World Series appearance in over 70 years. Naturally, they took the opportunity to play “Go Cubs Go” in celebration!
Watch this fan-shot video of the “Go Cubs Go” leading into “Steam Powered Aeroplane” from this victorious performance, courtesy of Purple Bear on YouTube, below.
