Greensky Bluegrass released Courage For The Road: Fall 2019, the first in a series of live archival releases chronicling the band’s performances on the road this past year.
Courage For The Road: Fall 2019 follows Greensky as they tour the country in support of their latest album, All For Money. The live album features 14 tracks from 12 different shows throughout the tour, including four songs from their three-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheater earlier this fall. The songs themselves were hand-chosen by the band and remixed and mastered by longtime studio engineer Glenn Brown. Mandolinist and vocalist Paul Hoffman said of the release:
We keep it fresh by cycling through a large catalog of music scattering in things we haven’t played in years or only pass twice per year. Much of the material also contains large improvisational sections that take a new life every time we play it. Keeping ourselves on our toes seems to translate to fans. Follow the band for a week and you might hear 90 different songs. Greensky Bluegrass releases soundboard recordings of nearly every live performance. Each show is unique as the band shuffles through a catalog of over two hundred songs and the spirit of improvisation makes each night so different. Here’s a taste of one tour. Twenty-one shows in 31 days featuring over 150 unique songs. Courage for the Road is 90 min of music selected by the band from throughout the tour. We hope you enjoy.
