Dave Bruzza, one of the band members, emphasizes that Greensky Bluegrass is not just regurgitating the same music. As songwriters and musicians, they have a need for people to be on board and connect with their music on a deeper level. Their motivation for making music goes beyond financial gain. They do it for romantic reasons – for the love, catharsis, and the impact it has on both themselves and their listeners. They prioritize their passion for music over any external pressures or desires.
