The Greens: Authentic Blue Grass & Civil War Jazz
Tired of cover bands? Looking for some authentic blue grass and civil war jazz? The Greens have sprung up this season!!
“We wanted to bring a new thing to Key West, where jazz and old -time roots music would meet,” said stand-up bass player, Steve LaPierre, who recently joined forces with beloved Key West banjo player Jason Shore, to craft this new sound in town.
Lead vocalist and musical virtuoso, Gary Mackey, on fiddle and mandolin from Dolly Parton’s Nashville Band, along with 26 year-old wonder, Rob Cook, the popular Duval Street “washboard- tie guy”, on percussion, round out this quartet of breath-taking musicians.
“We love to take an early jazz, blue grass, or gypsy favorite; start it simply and begin to jazz it up, before we jam it out. Every song we do at every gig has its own life and its own sound,” said LaPierre, popular street painter and co-founder of the Love Lane Gang.
Grab your entire household; go enjoy some healthy musical fun this weekend with The Greens.
