Henderson Pavilion 15-Year Anniversary Celebration Set for Friday

WHAT: Henderson Pavilion 15th anniversary concert featuring Greensky Bluegrass
WHEN: Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.; Gates open at 6 p.m.
WHERE: Henderson Pavilion, 200 S. Green Valley Pkwy.

The Henderson Pavilion, the state’s first open air amphitheater, celebrates its 15-year anniversary with a special concert featuring Greensky Bluegrass. The event commemorates the venue’s 15 successful years, in which thousands came to experience one of hundreds of concerts, theater performances and special events. Tickets to the 15-year anniversary concert start at $15 per person.

This is the first time Greensky Bluegrass – a nationally recognized bluegrass and rock band – will perform at the Henderson Pavilion. The way Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers have penetrated the mainstream with acoustic instrumentation, Greensky Bluegrass’s unique sound and style mixes rock elements with roots and acoustic stylings into a sonic palette all its own. The band performs music from all five of its studio albums, including their recent release, Shouted, Written Down & Quoted. In addition, Greensky Bluegrass, who recently sold out their upcoming historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre performance, is expected to add a number of familiar cover songs from Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers Band, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and the Grateful Dead to Friday night’s set list.

Fruition joins Greensky Bluegrass as part of the Henderson Pavilion 15-year anniversary concert. The rock band, anchored by three-part harmonies and a blend of soul, blues and British Invasion pop music, opens the show at 7 p.m.
