The Northwest String Summit at Horning’s Hideout in North Plains, Oregon, has become somewhat of a mecca for bluegrass musicians and fans alike, consistently bringing together big names and small across the bluegrass scene to join together in collaboration and celebration. One name that regularly tops the bill and has become a favorite of the festival is Greensky Bluegrass, the Michigan newgrass quintet. Jamgrass.TV just released a new pro-shot video of Greensky Bluegrass’s performance of “Reverend” at the festival last year on July 16th, 2016.

The Greensky classic, written and sung by Paul Hoffman, kicked off the group’s Saturday performance at the festival, marking the first song of their set and captivating crowds from the start with its longing tones. You can watch the video of Greensky performing “Reverend” below, courtesy of Jamgrass.TV. You can also delve into their performance at Northwest String Summit below, thanks to a full recording of their set from July 16th thanks to taper Chris SanClemente.

Greensky Bluegrass will be returning to the Northwest String Summit this summer, running from July 13th to 16th, and are scheduled to perform two sets across the weekend. They will be joined by Yonder Mountain String Band, Del McCoury Band, JJ Grey & Mofro, Elephant Revival, Fruition, Todd Snider & Great American Taxi, and Turkuaz to name a few other acts with whom they share the bill.
