Watch Greensky Bluegrass & Members Of Melt Cover The Beatles In Huntington

Greensky Bluegrass‘ winter run with support from Melt rolled into The Paramount in Huntington, New York on Sunday. The string quintet brought out Melt members Veronica Stewart-Frommer and Marlo Shankweiler for The Beatles’ “Let It Be.”

The “Let It Be” cover capped the concert. It marked GSBG’s first performance of the song in 2024 and second overall, debuting the title track to The Beatles’ 1970 album on June 28, 2023 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as per Phantasy Tour.

GSBG’s “Let It Be” in Huntington saw mandolinist Paul Hoffman swapping verses with Melt vocalist Veronica Stewart-Frommer. Guitarist Marlo Shankweiler added some tasty electric guitar riffage and also delivered a solo.
