“authenticity, originality, and passion” – The Bluegrass Situation
A Note From Sam: “The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend, Jerry Garcia, made in the early 1990s (in the house that I grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is their camaraderie. Their love and joy for the music simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs. Whether they are originals, covers, or traditional/old-time tunes, the material was curated expertly.
“My goal in starting Sam Grisman Project is to build a platform for my friends and me to showcase our genuine passion and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg and Jerry’s music. By playing some of their beloved repertoires and sharing the original music that our own collective has to offer, we will also show the impact that this music has had on our own individual musical voices. Ultimately, there is nothing that makes me happier than playing great songs with my best friends. My hope is to share that happiness with audiences all over!”
