Sam Grisman Project

About the band

Sam Grisman Project

Sam Grisman grew up around the music his father David Grisman made with Jerry Garcia, and the Sam Grisman Project puts that acoustic side of the Garcia story on stage — the Garcia/Grisman duets, Old & In the Way, and the bluegrass and old-time tunes Garcia kept coming back to. It is Dead-adjacent rather than a Dead tribute, and a listening-room set rather than a dance party.

The venue

Siesta Valley Bowl

100 Gateway Blvd · Orinda, CA

Outdoor amphitheater in the hills just east of the Caldecott Tunnel. A short drive from Berkeley and Oakland, with a heavy Dead-family booking policy.
