On Saturday, Cervantes’ Masterpiece in Denver hosted The Bluegrass Ball featuring The Travelin’ McCourys along with Del McCoury, Bill Nershi (The String Cheese Incident), Anders Beck (Greensky Bluegrass) and Paul Hoffman (Greensky Bluegrass). Nershi paired up with the members of Greensky Bluegrass to honor Prince who passed away on Thursday.

Prince’s “When Doves Cry” has become a staple of Greensky Bluegrass’s repertoire. Hoffman led Beck and Nershi through an emotional and well-jammed take on The Purple One’s 1984 hit. Watch the trio’s version of “When Doves Cry” from Saturday night captured by Kyle Isaac:
