I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.

Greens in Glenville this Saturday

The Greens venture to a new part of WV for their music this Saturday. After playing in the familiar haunts of Morgantown Friday night at Gibbies, the Greens will trek across the middle part of the state to Gilmer County for Saturday night. Caena Joy will play the hostess I suppose, as she must have some roots and connections in that neck of the woods. Andy Nicholas got excited hearing they were coming to his stompin' grounds, too. The Greens are guaranteed to bring their enthusiasm and sense of adventure to this new venue for them, and will give the audience a satisfying night of original music. The Greens bring their intriguing ability to move through genres and styles of music through the course of a 4 hour evening and love playing before a new audience. They may start with a few songs in mind, but can go in many directions depending on factors such as their "muse" or inspiration, or the audience's reaction or a random request. Any long time fan can recall being amazed with the direction the set list could go on any night; or even two nights in a row- practically a completely different set list. If the audience wants a Hendrix mini-set, or Cream, or Pink Floyd; they might get it. If they want a Johnny Cash / Carter family seque, they just might get it. If they want a full night of original music weaving through Soul, blues, jam band, latin, rap, they might be awed by the creative uniqueness. You can be guaranteed you will know they have left themselves on the bandstand by the end of the night, as they always pour themselves out for any audience, anywhere. Come on out and see them in Glenville!
