ABOUT SAM GRISMAN PROJECT

Sam Grisman is a bassist and bandleader at the helm of a commanding improvisational ensemble performing live acoustic music in the tradition shaped by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.

He grew up in Mill Valley, California in a home where some of the great acoustic music of our time was regularly being recorded. His father, legendary mandolinist, composer, and producer David Grisman, often hosted friends at his home studio for recording sessions and rehearsals. These friends, including Doc Watson, Jerry Garcia, John Hartford, Mike Seeger, and Tony Rice, left a lasting impression and inspired him to pursue a life making music with his many talented friends.

The band’s shows create a space where the band and audience share in a deep love and reverence for the great music and musicians who continue to inspire them.
