Like many Hidden Track readers, I’ve spent thousands of dollars over my life, most of my time off from work and school, and have traveled countless miles by car and plane in pursuit of my favorite bands, their amazing music, and all the friends I’ve met along the way. For something different this past New Years Eve, I discovered for myself that one need not travel to Miami, Atlanta, New York, Chicago or San Francisco to get down to some killer sounds at year’s end – great things could be found in much smaller locales.
This year, the wife and I and two of our close friends traveled just a few short hours from our home base in Detroit, Michigan (no, you’re probably not cool enough to make it here, no I’ve never been mugged or carjacked, and yes I think the city and its inhabitants are amazing) to the western end of the great mitten of the north for New Years Eve in Kalamazoo (yes, there really is a Kalamazoo). In response to the question I can already hear people asking, “Why the hell would you spend New Years in Kalamazoo?” The answer is simple – to spend New Years Eve with hometown newgrass heroes Greensky Bluegrass.
The band, winners of the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, were throwing down for its annual New Year’s Eve celebration at the historic, ornately decorated State Theater. The five-piece Greensky Bluegrass has spent the last few years earning a reputation across the country as an impressive group of musicians blowing many a mind with their improvisational prowess, non-traditional bluegrass covers, and perma-grin producing psychedelic jams. Although attendance was less than half the State Theater’s 1600 person capacity, it seemed that like me, most people were truly excited for a fun, homegrown party and a great night of music.
