Greensky Bluegrass Reveals Emotive B-Side Track “Congratulations & Condolences”

Greensky Bluegrass have shared “Congratulations & Condolences,” a rare B-Side release from their most recent album Stress Dreams. The song was co-written by Greensky’s Paul Hoffman (mandolin, vocals) and Joshua Davis (Steppin in It, Shout Sister Shout). After Davis lost his father and received a son days apart, “the timing of back-to-back congratulations and condolences provided striking context to the complexity of life and friendship.”

The  accompanying video for “Congratulations & Condolences” showcases exclusive footage from the studio. The visuals are recorded on 8mm tape and underscore the lyrics, “How did we become friends like this/congratulations and condolences.”  

The band will play Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival on May 27 before heading to Iceland for the first ever Camp Greensky Iceland, taking place June 3-5 in Reykjavik. 

Upon return, Greensky will resume their US tour, making stops at festivals and amphitheatres across the country and will be supported by Neighbor, Big Something, Amanda Shires, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, The Wood Brothers, the Teskey Brothers and Sierra Ferrell.
