Greensky Bluegrass Welcomes The Infamous Stringdusters’ Andy Falco In Cleveland

Greensky Bluegrass and The Infamous Stringdusters brought their joint winter tour to Cleveland last night for a concert at The Agora. The Infamous Stringdusters guitarist Andy Falco was GSBG’s special guest for a series of songs to end their second set in Cleveland.

The Dusters kicked off the action on Tuesday with a 10-song set. Staples “Fork In The Road” and “Let Me Know” were followed by “How Do You Know?” from the band’s recently released Toward The Fray LP to get the performance underway. The quintet then paired “Where The Rivers Run Cold” and “Down From The Mountain” before covering The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven.” Next, “Get It While You Can” bled into “Wake Me Up.” The Infamous Stringdusters returned to Toward The Fray for the ensuing “I Didn’t Know,” which gave way to a “Black Rock” featuring a tease of Phish’s “First Tube.”

Greensky Bluegrass continues to avoid covers, a trend that has played out throughout the band’s 2022 performances. Last night’s first set began with the title track from GSBG’s 2019 studio album, All For Money. Fan favorite “In Control” came next before the five-piece turned to their new LP, Stress Dreams, for “Cut A Tooth.” It was then back to All For Money for “What You Need.” From there GSBG dusted off “Collateral Damage” for its first play since January 29, 2020 — a span of 91 shows. Oldie “Runnin’ The Briars” followed. Next up was the day-appropriate “Tuesday Letter” along with a “Courage For The Road” featuring Stress Dreams standout “Streetlight” within to end the set.

“Just To Lie” led into an extended “Train Junkie” to start Greensky’s second set in Cleveland. The quintet then followed “New & Improved” with “Miss September” before bringing out Andy Falco for “Give A Shit” from Stress Dreams. Falco stuck around to contribute to an adventurous version of the beloved “All Four” as well as provide double guitar action on “Wings For Wheels” and “Kerosene.” Greensky Bluegrass went it alone to cap the evening with an “Until I Sing” encore.
