Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- The Sam Grisman Project

Samson “Sam” Grisman has been surrounded by music his entire life. From a young age, he fell in love with the music played around him by family, friends, and especially his father, David.

David, a multi-instrumentalist, has performed for decades with and/or alongside Peter Rowan, Red Allen, Maria Muldaur, Darol Anger, Doc Watson, Mike Marshall, Tony Rice, and Andy Statman.

David has called his particular stylings “Dawg music,” embracing his nickname, “Dawg.” That nickname was first given to him by close friend and frequent collaborator Jerry Garcia.

Music has been so prevalent in Sam’s life that from a young age, he assumed everyone played music. He saw people’s instruments as part of their personality, and he thought everyone was born with a proclivity towards their instruments.

Though he has since realized that learning an instrument comes with time and practice, he has never lost what he considers a sense of duty to perform, and he wholeheartedly embraces the music he grew up around.

David always encouraged his children to learn instruments, practice playing other people’s songs, and work on original compositions to build their musical experience.
