The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is in full swing and last night Greensky Bluegrass played a headlining show at the famed Tipitina’s tied to the festivities. During the gig, the group got into the collaborative spirit and invited out Dumpstaphunk keyboardist, and local hero, Ivan Neville for takes on “Lose My Way” and the Grateful Dead’s arrangement of King Radio’s “Man Smart, Woman Smarter.” Greensky Bluegrass’ Anders Beck also joked, “You know what they say, best way to start jazz fest is with Bluegrass – Alan Toussaint.”

Neville, who has performed on stage with Greensky before, including at the same venue in 2024, performed on the version of “Lose My Way” that Greensky Bluegrass released last year on XXV, which revisits material from throughout their career. Aoife O’Donovan also appears on the reworked track, which originally was included on 2011’s Handguns.

Greensky Bluegrass recently released the documentary film Find Ourselves Lost, The Iceland Sessions. For more on the film, which documents their 2024 sessions, check out our recent feature. The ensemble will kick off a two-night stand at Pelham, TN’s The Caverns this evening.
