The Riviera Theatre is the place to be for laughs and bluegrass coming this September 18 & 19.The September 18 show features Greensky Bluegrass wish special guest Macpodz.
“Along with the tradition of bluegrass, we all have lots of different musical influences that we bring to the table”, says Dave Bruzza, who plays guitar for Greensky Bluegrass.
Greensky Bluegrass is blend of bluegrass with other musical influences. Songs from the Talking Heads, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead or Bob Marley have all been turned bluegrass by the band, to the approval of bluegrass fans.
“It is nice to know that other people really dig it, too,” says Paul Hoffman, who plays mandolin.
Special guest Macpodz play in a jazz-rock style, citing a jam-band influence with touches of Frank Zappa and Miles Davis. The band's self-coined style of "disco-bebop" has developed a solid following of fans across the Midwest, originating in Ann Arbor. Macpodz's first live CD was released in April 2009.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. at the Riviera Theatre in Three Rivers, Michigan.
On September 19th, the theatre is pleased to present comedian Eric O'Shea at 8 pm. Best known for his "Songs from Commercials", the 2007 National College Comedian of the Year combines his love of broadcasting with comedy and mixes in stories from real life.
