Greensky Bluegrass will headline The Great Pinewood Bluegrass Festival, a four-band, afternoon/evening event coming to Pinewood Bowl on May 20.
Other bands on the bill are The Devil Makes Three, Mandolin Orange and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades.
Gates at the Pioneers Park amphitheater will open at 3 p.m. for the all-ages event. It will also feature food, vendors and craft beer. The festival is expected to end at about 9 p.m.
“This is the first time we’ve done an all-day-type event there,†said SMG-Lincoln general manager Tom Lorenz. “It’s not a genre we’ve put out there often. They are some of the top bluegrass bands and they’ll fit the vibe out there.Â
“We’ll have some specialty foods, lifestyle vendors, beer and have a busking area up in the trees. It should be a chill day of hanging out in the woods and hearing some good music.â€
