Anybody know what this is all about? Will the band be performing a whole show or? 1st time to TBF so not sure what all goes on with these workshops.
Thx!
I imagine they’ll be demonstrating the complexities of a margarita machine.
Actually, anything goes here. Punch Brothers did the last couple of Happy Hour sets in Elks Park and put on truly memorable performances. Expect a very fun event.
Elk’s Park is in the middle of downtown, about a 10 minute walk from the fest. It seats about 200 or so, on the grass, the hill or the structures around it. You can get there early and sit within 8 feet of the musicians. The sound is very good there.
Some workshops are less like mini-performances. Some of the artists will take questions and requests. Most of the time it’s just a very intimate performance. You really should make time to see one!!
My guess is that this will be a really intimate performance rather than a traditional workshop. I’d expect a lot of people to show up for this one, so be prepared to get there early if you want a good seat out of the sun.
Cool thanks
In the past that set has been a Punch Brothers set with an alcohol theme and it’s been AWESOME; I sort of assume Greensky will take that same approach to it … But either way, it is likely to be a strong set on a much smaller stage, so get there early if you’re prioritizing it!
Gee wiz I have contracted a horrible case of the TBF FOMS (fear of missing something) over this set. I really want to see this, but I loves me some Johnny C too gees I wish I could clone myself! :pirate
That’s my thought. In the end, I’ll be at John Cowan. He’s missed the last several festivals and Greensky comes through Montana about twice a year. Not to mention I’ll be getting two sets of them at String Summit next month.
Good point Sugar, and I am interested in the John McFee and friends thing too. :pirate
There are no bad options here…and no good ones…if you know what I mean…No matter what you go to, you’ll see a great show, and miss another great performance going on somewhere else…so many great bands, so little time. 
No matter how you play it, I like your odds of having an awesome time.
Well Thaaaank YOU. Now I’m gonna have THAT stuck in my head all day.
