Peter Rowan will be taking the Ryman stage with Sam Grisman Project on January 9th for the band's debut at this iconic venue. The show will celebrate the music of Old & In the Way, taking Rowan back to his music with David Grisman and Jerry Garcia in the early '70s, while also recognizing his work since then as solo singer-songwriter and band member.
In a recent interview with The Bluegrass Situation, Rowan reminisced about Old & In the Way and the nights they spent playing together at Garcia's house. He recalls the encouragement and "go for it" attitude between them that made the band so influential.
Rowan is now the only member of the band actively performing and has been touring with Sam Grisman Project regularly, carrying on the legacy of Old & In the Way. Sam Grisman also reflected on the influence that Rowan and Old & In the Way have had on bluegrass music, mentioning how playing with Rowan has shown "how important it is to bring your own approach to these timeless songs that we love, while still honoring what it is that makes us love them in the first place."
