Greenland is Melting is a three piece folk band born and bred in Gainesville. It consists of a stand-up bass, a banjo, an electric and acoustic guitar and a suitcase that’s used to keep a beat. Shaun Pereira, guitar, explained how he developed his love of bluegrass music to writer Sarah Arrazola, who interviewed the band for this week’s story. “I started to get a liking for folk and blues,” Pereira said. “What I liked about it was the storytelling.” Visit us online for full color photos of the band.Courtesy of Nicole Kibert
