THIS IS A SEATED SHOW
Todd Phillips (bass) is one of the founders of the new acoustic movement. An original member of the David Grisman Quintet, he has recorded two solo albums (including the Compass release Timeframe) and has toured and recorded with countless bands and projects including The Tony Rice Unit, The Bluegrass Album Band, Joan Baez, Claire Lynch, Psychograss and the Grammy winning True Life Blues which he also produced.
"Todd Phillips is the player who freed bluegrass bassists from their root-5 shackles...From his early work with the David Grisman Quintet and the Bluegrass Album Band to his genre-spanning solo albums and recordings with Phillips, Grier & Flinner and Psychograss, Phillips has mixed imagination and musicality in a long list of projects with acoustic music’s greatest players." - Bass Player Magazine
David Grier (guitar) is one of today’s top bluegrass guitarists. He has 10 solo albums to his credit and has appeared on over 100 albums including recordings by Jerry Douglas, Alison Brown and Psychograss. He is a three time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award. In 2000, David was recognized by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as one of the “Artists of the Decade” and his solo album "I've Got the House to Myself" was included in the "100 Essential Acoustic Guitar Recordings of All Time."
“David Grier is the classic guitarist’s guitarist—not terribly well-known by the general public despite a long, stellar career working with just about everyone who’s anyone in the bluegrass and Nashville country music communities over the past four-plus decades, but uniformly admired by fellow guitarists for his amazing skill and versatility.”—Acoustic Guitar Magazine
Matt Flinner (mandolin) is one of the most recognized mandolinists in bluegrass music of the last three decades. He has recorded three solo albums along with three Matt Flinner Trio albums. His 1998 solo release “The View from Here” in particular is considered a “must have” album in the acoustic music genre. In addition to his work with Phillips, Grier and Flinner, this versatile instrumentalist has toured and recorded with Leftover Salmon (on banjo), Darrell Scott, Frank Vignola, Steve Martin, the Modern Mandolin Quartet and his own Matt Flinner Trio.
“Flinner continues his reign as perhaps the most exciting and creative mandolin player on the scene today.”—Jazz Times
