Kalamazoo, MI’s Greensky Bluegrass and Chicago’s Cornmeal are both Midwest bands that combine elements of traditional bluegrass and progressive jam music. Next week, the two groups will kick off a five-date co-headlining East Coast tour. The bands will alternate headlining spots each night and promise plenty of cross pollination. Members of the two bands also shared the stage on Jam Cruise last month.
