Podcasts about Grisman

My guest this week is a legend of American string band music.When David Grisman raised his middle finger to MCA Records, after being  dropped for failing to meet arbitrary sales targets, he couldn't have known it would spark a 35-year musical revolution. As one of America's foremost, and best loved, mandolin virtuosos turns 80 this year, he offers a fascinating glimpse into the birth, evolution, and future of Acoustic Disc, the independent label he founded in 1990 that became a vital archive of American string band traditions, as well as home to over three decades of his own music.Grisman's journey from frustrated artist to label founder came at a pivotal moment in music history, as CDs were eclipsing vinyl and the digital revolution loomed on the horizon. He built his own studio, using gear he bought from the iconic 1750 Arch Studios, and Acoustic Disc was born. The label's early success—including Grammy nominations for its first two releases—established a blueprint combining Grisman's new compositions, collaborations with luminaries like Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, and carefully chosen historical recordings.The switch from physical media to digital distribution liberated both Grisman's creative vision and business model."It's just too beautiful a concept to make one product and sell an infinite number without manufacturing anything," he explains. This shift allows him to release an album every month, including expanded versions of classic recordings with Tony Rice, Jerry Garcia, and others. These "deluxe editions" offer fascinating insights into the creative process behind influential albums like Tone Poems, capturing not just the music but the conversations between master musicians at work.Whether you're a huge Grisman fan, dedicated bluegrass lover or just a fan of acoustic music at its best, Acoustic Disc's extraordinary catalog offers a gateway into America's rich string band traditions. Find out more at acousticdisc.com and, while you're there, sign up for their weekly newsletter to receive a free "Treat of the Week".For updates, follow David on Instagram and FacebookHappy picking.MattSend a message to Bluegrass Jam Along!

Episode 309: Sam Grisman, the 35-year-old son of mandolin icon David “Dawg” Grisman, grew up in a unique and supercharged musical environment, to put it mildly. Jerry Garcia was coming over all the time to the family home to pick and record old-time folk music with the elder Grisman. Bluegrass legends came and went, rehearsing and recording, and giving Sam something to aspire to when he picked up the bass as a little kid. After a decade working and touring as sideman, he's now based in Nashville leading his own collective, the Sam Grisman Project, which is nurturing the repertoire of the Grisman/Garcia partnership, with selected tunes from the Grateful Dead repertoire as well. With a remarkable concert at the Ryman Auditorium in January 2025, Sam stepped into a new phase of his musical life.

It has a life of its own. It shouldn't be kept behind glass. It should be out in front of people. With that emotion passing through.- Jack Barton The biggest bummer about it these days is just how everybody's got a super computer in their pocket, and everybody's addicted to the shit, and unless you engage with social media, people don't know that you're active. - Sam Grisman I never imagined myself becoming a guitarist ever. I never had big aspirations to be a musician or play guitar at all. But I started playing during the pandemic. - Bella Rayne Honestly,  I was thrilled to play with all of these musicians, but I have a special place in my heart for the guys from Los Lobos. Yeah. I mean, holy cow. What a thrill. - Jill Simmons From the beginning, I'm grateful. That we've been able to do what we've wanted to do all these years. And for it to come around to where it's at now.  And the friends that we've made along the way. That's why we're here today. - David HidalgoMusic LinksBertha * Deadicated * Los LobosDavid Hidalgo with Los Lobos Playing Jerry Garcia's Alligator at the Fillmore 11/16/23Brown Eyed Women - Thunderbird Music Hall - 9/25/22 - Set 2Catfish JohnJerry Garcia Band - "Mission In The Rain" - Electric On The Eel (June 10th, 1989)Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970 (with lyrics) Links to Websiteshttps://www.dennismcnally.com/https://www.loslobos.org/site/https://www.samgrismanproject.net/https://browneyedwomen.com/https://www.bellaraynerocks.com/https://www.jackbartonentertainment.com/https://www.alexjordanjams.com/

While Jerry Garcia collaborated with dozens of artists beyond fronting the Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, few are as recognizable in name as David “Dawg” Grisman. As you'll soon hear, their relationship was initially happenstance but as time wore on, it was inevitable that these two geniuses would meet and collaborate in both live and studio settings. David Grisman, roots music guru, multi-instrumentalist who is probably most famous for his masterful mandolin playing has released a series of “bare bone” acoustic Garcia and Grisman recordings dubbed Bare Bones. Two of these volumes have already released, the first on Jerry Garcia's 82nd birthday just a few weeks back. A third will be released August 30th by Acoustic Disc. First song: Dreadful Wind and Rain  Second song: End of the World  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of "Comes A Time," we're excited to have the incredible Sam Grisman with us. We spent some time diving deep into Sam's journey, which carries the legacy of two music legends close to our hearts: his dad, David Grisman, and the one and only Jerry Garcia. The stories Sam shares are pure gold, giving us insight into the rich friendship and creative energy that flowed between Jerry and David. It's like stepping into a time capsule, filled with anecdotes, life lessons, and the kind of wisdom that comes from living in a world where music was a constant, harmonious presence. Sam also lets us in on his latest passion project, the Sam Grisman Project. The band's mission is to keep that timeless spirit alive while adding their own flavor to the mix. Sam talks about the joy of collaborating with friends who share his love for this unique blend of acoustic and electric sounds, making every show a celebration of musical heritage. Sure, they face their share of challenges, but they never lose sight of the joy in every note they play. In this episode, we reflect on what makes music so damn special—the connections it creates and the power it has to keep us evolving and inspiring one another. Sam's got this incredible ability to speak from the heart, and his grounded perspective on music, community, and the transformative power of creativity makes this chat one you won't want to miss. Tune in for a warm, personal conversation that'll have you celebrating life, legacy, and the tunes that make it all worth it.

The Virginia Kid and Phil Fettuccine sat down with Sam Grisman of Sam Grisman Project, before his performance at the Paradise Theater in Paonia, last year.

David "Dawg" Grisman: Stéphane Grappelli told me that, when he and Django first met and started playing together in between sets at a big hotel in Paris, he said they were basically trying to imitate Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti. George Cole: Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Listeners out there in podcast land, that is a very important piece of information, because if you read the books, people will try to tell you that Django was mostly influenced by Duke Ellington, who's great, and Louis Armstrong, who's great. We love all that. But I've always thought the same thing as you just mentioned.Welcome, welcome to the Hot Jazz Network Podcast. I'm your host, George Cole. On our show today, we have one of the most important musicians in American history. He's a legendary mandolinist and composer, but more important, he's also my friend. He's the creator of Dawg Music, has recorded with Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, Doc Watson, Del McCoury, and countless others.Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only David Grisman, the man we call Dawg.

Sam grew up around the musicians that so many people idolize, and now he's pushing the music forward! We talk Jerry, Sam's Dad David Grisman & more on this episode of Best Show Ever. Recorded 8/8/23. Best Show Ever is created, hosted and produced by Cam Herdt. Produced and distributed by Osiris Media.

We are super honored to have Sam Grisman as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Sam - son of legendary David 'Dawg' Grisman - is taking the music that has surrounded him since birth and is creating something new and special through his own lens. Sam says this about the project... "The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend, Jerry Garcia, made in the early 90s (in the house that I grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is the way their camaraderie and their love and joy for the music, simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs—whether they are originals, covers or traditional/old time tunes—and how expertly that material was curated. My goal in starting Sam Grisman Project is to build a platform for my friends and me to showcase our genuine passion and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg and Jerry's music. By playing some of their beloved repertoire and sharing the original music that our own collective has to offer, we will also show the impact that this music has had on our own individual musical voices. Ultimately, there is nothing that makes me happier than playing great songs with my best friends and my hope is to share that happiness with audiences all over!" We talk with Sam about: The legacy of the music and carrying it forward into the future. How forming the band was his way of honoring the privilege of being a part of this musical family. If he has ever felt pressure to carry on the musical trip. What made him fall in love with the music on his own, apart from his Dad and Jerry's influence. Childhood memories of mandolin camp with some of today's heavy hitters hen they were all kids. Infusing your own unique energy into recreating something that so many people know. Memories of Jerry and his Dad playing tunes in the living room. What cartoons were hip for him as a kid and why Dawg didn't like him to watch modern ones. ...and a whole lot more!

Today's episode is about "Grateful Dawg" (Gillian Grisman, 2000), which chronicles the friendship and artistic collaboration between Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Our Very Special Guest is Brian Weinsten of the podcast Attendance Bias. Brian was nice enough to have us on his show and we're returning the favor. Grateful Dawg is very much a family affair - the director's father is David Grisman, other family members appear in the show, and it features cinematography by Justin Kreutzmann, son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Garcia and Grisman connected in the 60's around the time the Dead was starting to take off. They had a bluegrass band together, Old and In the Way. After that band fell apart, they lost touch for years. The film goes through that history but focuses primarily on the period of time between their reconnection in the late 80s and Garcia's death in 1995. During that time, playing music with Grisman and spending time with Grisman's family and fellow musicians was a respite from the strain of being "Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead". The film captures revealing moments of Jerry away from the spotlight and (as we explain) contains several musical performances presented in full, along with the absolutely hilarious 1991 music video for Garcia/Grisman's cover of the blues classic "The Thrill Is Gone". It's a great hang. Rock Docs is a Treble Media Podcast hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts   Twitter: @RockDocsPod   Instagram: @RockDocsPod   Cover Art by N.C.

I've recently been reflecting on how much life happens "in the hallway". You know, that space between one door closing and the next one opening ;) I used to find that space intensely uncomfortable, and was often "frozen" while waiting for the next thing to happen... THANK GOODNESS I've come to realize that THE HALLWAY is the place to be!! As mentioned, its the place that life is actually really happening! It is THE NOW, rather than the past or the future. And yes it can still be very uncomfortable, but that's because it's often a space of uncertainty, or limbo as its also called. That being said, my experience has shown me, and continues to show me, that uncertainty doesn't have to be scary or always uncomfortable. It can be exciting and exhilirating, when appropriate, and yet the difficult times will always lead to spiritual growth, should I opt to take on that perspective.  Here's to finding comfort in the hallway! Here's to no longer waiting for the "next thing" but rather embracing the "now thing".  Join me and perhaps be inspired to be where your feet are :) **DISCLAIMER: Please take note that any references to ketamine infusions or any other form of medicinal treatments, mainstream or non mainstream, are strictly meant to provide an insight into my own experiences.

The Stalker part 5 Claudia and David Rodriguez have five children, four of whom are adults, and most have severe medical or mental health issues. Two of their adult children are so disabled that the Rodriguezes have guardianship over them, meaning they have no rights. One child has undergone multiple surgeries, including spinal cord surgery, brain surgery, and stomach stoma surgery. The Rodriguez family has faced accusations from their daughter's neurologist, Dr. Grisman, accusing Claudia of having Munchausen by proxy, a disorder in which a caregiver intentionally causes or exaggerates the medical symptoms of someone in their care. Claudia vehemently denies these claims, stating that she is a mother who would do anything for her children and that others shouldn't judge her unless they have been in her shoes. Despite their claims of innocence, the authorities suspect that Rodriguez's oldest daughter, Logan, is the one sending the Stalking messages. However, Claudia and David say this is impossible as Logan was in a mental health facility without access to any devices when the Stalking started up again. In this podcast episode, we discuss this complex and confusing case that poses the question, who is behind these threatening messages? BINGE ALL 10-EPISODES Patreon Listen to the first 10 episodes.

As RFI Club member and long-time RFI English listener Vladimir Gudzenko from Moscow noted in his winning quiz entry: “The common problem in these countries is that all they are partly occupied by Russia! For Moldova, there is the self-proclaimed Republic of Transnistria, occupied by Russia. In Georgia, there are two self-proclaimed independent countries, also occupied by Russia:  Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Then in Ukraine, there is the Crimea and the Donbas and Lugansk regions, also self-proclaimed independent countries.”  EU membership takes a very long time, and for these three countries, with these very particular complications, it won't be easy … As Macron noted: "Even if we gave them candidate status tomorrow, we all know perfectly well that the process of allowing them to join would take several years, in truth doubtless several decades." So Macron proposed a "European political community", which would: “… allow democratic European nations ... to find a new space for political cooperation, security, cooperation in energy, transport, investment, infrastructure, the movement of people."  The winners are: Salehin An Nahiyann from the Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh, and Sameen Riaz, from the RFI Listeners Club in Sheikhupura City, Pakistan. There's RFI English listener Pradip Basak from West Bengal, India, and RFI Listener Club members Sagor Mia – who is also the president of the “Let's go on the right path and tell the truth, radio listener club” in Kishoreganj, Bangladesh - and Vladimir Gudzenko who lives near Moscow, in Russia. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's program: “Dance of the Blessed Spirits” from the opera Orpheus and Eurydice by Christoph Willibald Gluck, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Herbert von Karajan, with Karlheinz Zoeller, flutist; “Brazilian Breeze” by David Grisman, performed by Grisman and his quintet; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, and “Lugt, Schwestern” from Richard Wagner's opera  Das Rheingold, sung by Diana Newman, Annie Rosen, Lindsay Ammann, and Samuel Youn, with the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.

Episode Notes See message from Jake Below! Click here to sign up!!!! Hey Mandolin Friends! I’m so excited and honored to be teaching this course for Seeds of Music. It will be a survey course where we study my five favorite mandolin players. Each week I will teach a solo by one of these luminaries, and also provide a video of it played slowly to aid with your practicing. In addition, we’ll discuss and dissect other aspects of their styles—everything from the Bush chop, to the way Grisman fills, to the way Thile changed the ball game. This is a great opportunity to improve your grounding in the idiom, no matter what your level. I’m really looking forward to this deep dive into the playing of these legends! -Jacob Jolliff

Conceived of (successfully) as an "instant folk song" in the age of instant mashed potatoes and instant coffee, "Long Black Veil" is a tale of murder and infidelity, yes, but is it also a tale of (I hate to say it) "bros before hoes" taken to its senseless, meaningless extreme? The narrator of this song, singing from The Great Beyond, may have wanted to go down a hero by admitting to a crime he didn't commit (murder) so he wouldn't have to admit to a crime he did commit (sleeping with best friend's wife). But I can't help but see him as a selfish coward who's done nothing but add to the burden of those still living. Life goes on without him, and that means 1) there's still a murderer at large and the townsfolk have no idea 2) he died while his best friend was still in belief of his lies 3) neither his mistress' nor his best friend's life is going to get any easier now that he's gone. Not in the short term anyway. Great song though! I'm a bit rusty after some time off, so forgive me any production errors.

Merry Christmas .. Happy Hanukkah   This year's holiday edition of the Deadpod features one of the best acoustic performances of 1970. This takes place at the Fillmore East in New York City on September 20th, 1970. The acoustic set, which we present today, is not only a fine performance but also a fine recording. David Grisman plays mandolin on 'Friend of the Devil' and David Nelson joins with another mandolin on a slow soulful,  'Big Railroad Blues', both continue through Ripple. There is some speculation that Jerry plays piano on 'To Lay Me Down', clearly a wonderful highlight here. Nelson and Grisman are back with mandolins on a fine  Rosalie McFall, following a rare acoustic 'Truckin'. I love  'Cumberland Blues' here.. but then again I usually love this song.. Jerry plays an electic during 'New Speedway' but the vibe is very acoustic. 'Brokedown Palace' provides a fitting conclusion to the set..   Following, I decided to feature one more cut from Holly Bowling's beautiful work 'Better Left Unsung'.. this is 'Eyes of the World (Louieville KY 61874).. it speaks for itself..       Grateful Dead Fillmore East New York, NY 9/20/70 - Sunday   One - 1:02:46   Intro [0:03] ; Uncle John's Band [6:47] % Deep Elem Blues [5:51] % Friend Of The Devil [3:32] % Big Railroad Blues [3:14] % Dark Hollow [2:56] % Ripple [4:20] % To Lay Me Down [5:12] % Truckin' [5:35]%[0:12] ; Rosalie McFall [2:24] % Cumberland Blues [5:04] % New Speedway Boogie [9:31] % Brokedown Palace [5:13]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122316.mp3   My most sincere hope that all of my friends here have a very healthy and happy Holiday...   thanks for your support...........   the professor
