Greens at Empty Glass last night

The Greens braved the treacherous road conditions of I-79 to venture down to the Empty Glass in Charleston Saturday night. This was their first appearance there. The Glass is a great little place for live music in Charleston. The walls are lined with interesting posters and stickers and other memorabilia of the many interesting / diverse performers over the years. There is an intriguing ambiance to the place for a true music fan. The Greens were duly excited to be playing there, and put on a fine show. They referenced having a pretty good show the previous night in Morgantown at 123 Pleasant St. with Treasure Cat. So they are packing in some pretty solid weekends, with no particular let up.
Here is a set list from last night's show: (forgive the titles, some are just what i call them!!!)

As staunch Greens fan's can see, any night of good solid music leaves many of their favorites out, the set list is just too good/solid/ long to play them all any given night.

Thanks to Crystal for getting the gig set up, from when she stopped by the Front Row at the holidays, looking for a little local live music. She is from Calhoun County, and lives in Charleston now, and likes Mike Morningstar's music. She liked Andy and My set at the Front Row; that kind of music. But she enjoyed the Greens sound too!!!! Thanks to Roadblock for making the sound work and running the show.
The Greens were in fine form; a solid show, to hopefully build another city into their network as it grows.
There were flyers around the Glass, announcing they have been chosen among the top 100 nightclub and bars in the country by a national survey. They are having a celebration of this on March 29th- check out information about it - there are mostly "big city" venues on the list- de lazy lizard in morgantown is also on the list.
The Greens will be in Parkersburg next weekend for a St. Patrick's day tradition; this year at the Six Pence Pub on 7th St.
Look for details soon about the Greens 10 city mini-tour in June!!!
Give 'em some encouragement when you bump into them- they are working hard and creating a great buzz!!!
