*About Peter Rowen*
Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Peter Rowan is one of America's most revered musical storytellers. A 2022 inductee into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, and winner of the Inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award in Music given by 'Your Roots are Showing' (Ireland), Rowan has spent over five decades shaping the sound and spirit of American roots music—from bluegrass and folk to rock, country, and beyond.
*About Sam Grisman Project*
Sam Grisman is a bass player, music appreciator, and bandleader who grew up in Mill Valley, California in a home where some of the great acoustic music of our time was being recorded on a regular basis. His father, legendary mandolinist, composer, and producer, David Grisman, was constantly having friends come over to his home studio for recording sessions and rehearsals. These friends, such as Doc Watson, Jerry Garcia, John Hartford, Mike Seeger, and Tony Rice all left an impression on the younger Grisman and inspired him to pursue a life making music with his many talented friends.
Sam Grisman Project was created to shed light on the music that Sam grew up around, and highlight that music’s influence on the members of the collective and in the greater music community. The band’s shows create a safe space where the band and audience can bask in the shared love and reverence for the great music and musicians who continue to inspire us all.
*About Old & In The Way*
During the winter of 1973, Jerry Garcia plunged into a new side-project—a bluegrass group called Old and in the Way, featuring Garcia on banjo and vocals, John Kahn on string bass, David Grisman on mandolin and vocals, and guitarist/singer Peter Rowan. Fiddler Richard Greene joined in April of 1973, but juggling his own band in LA, dropped out after a couple of months and was replaced first by John Hartford, and eventually by Vassar Clements—widely regarded as one of the best fiddlers anywhere.
Having not played the banjo as frequently as he had previously, Garcia’s skills were admittedly not what they used to be, but, as he said, “they were smoothing out near the end.” The band broke up due to fighting between Rowan and Grisman, but there were plans for a comeback before Jerry’s death in 1995.
