The Egg Presents: Peter Rowan with Sam Grisman Project playing music from Old & In The Way and more!

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, often had 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, 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 Sam grew up around and to 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 them.

Members of the rotating ensemble include:
- Guitarists: Max Flansburg, Logan Ledger, Sam Leslie, Henry Moser, Jesse Harper, Jefferson Hamer
- Mandolinists: Dominick Leslie, Joe K. Walsh, Matt Flinner, Jesse Appelman
- Clawhammer banjo: Victor Furtado
- Fiddlers: John Mailander, Alex Hargreaves, Nate Leath, Shad Cobb, Phoebe Hunt
- Cellist: Nat Smith
- Dobro: Todd Livingston

The band frequently collaborates with legendary singer, songwriter, and bluegrass pioneer Peter Rowan, a connection that ties directly back to David Grisman and the Old and In the Way legacy. Over the years Sam Grisman Project has also been joined by guests including David Grisman, John Sebastian, Tim O’Brien, Billy Strings, Maria Muldaur, Margo Price, and others.

This ever-evolving collective of exceptional humans who happen to be incredible musicians is a testament to the abundance of joy and the wealth of experiences that growing up around this timeless music has brought into Sam Grisman's life. Sam Grisman Project is committed to putting their love, gratitude, and individuality into the music they share on stage and to participating in the community effort of preserving, expanding, and appreciating great American acoustic music.

To preserve the sonic integrity of their instruments and voices, SGP plays acoustic music into condenser microphones. The sound on stage is fully acoustic and sensitive, so we kindly ask that you save conversations for before and after the show or during the set break. Thanks for coming and thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the music.
