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 at Earthstock 08 yesterday

The Greens entertained the Mother Earth Foods customer appreciation day audience on a beautiful early fall day down by the Ohio River in Vienna WV yesterday afternoon, into the evening. Mike Morningstar and Rick Roberts played earlier in the afternoon, in what is a tradition for the event. The Greens were playing for the first time at this event.
Here is a set list for their three set performance (they gave the crowd a good long performance)

Little Warrior
Tide Turns Again
Flyin' Solo
Flippin' Thru the Pages

Homeless Melodies
Man with Dirty Hands (a new song)

10,000 Days

(break)

All over everywhere
Kenya Dig

Larry Neely played keyboards for this last set, with lots of good instrumental solos traded back and forth. This got the crowd up and dancing, as the sun set, and the good food served throughout the day began to be cleaned up. Folks left with a lot of satisfaction from a great event, and good hospitality by Dave Hawkins and the Mother Earth Foods crew.
