Last Thursday, Peter Rowan joined Sam Grisman Project for their eagerly anticipated debut at Ryman Auditorium. It was an unforgettable evening honoring Rowan and Old & In the Way. The audience danced along to two sets and an encore packed with fan favorites from Old & In the Way and Rowan's own musical projects.
There was never a dull moment onstage as Rowan performed alongside Sam Grisman Project and friends. Special guests included Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, Jerry Douglas, Lindsay Lou, Ronnie and Rob McCoury, and the band featuring Alex Hargreaves, Chris J. English, Dominick Leslie, Logan Ledger, Max Flansburg, Nat Smith and Victor Furtado. Billy Strings, Gillian Welch, and David Rawlings also made surprise appearances throughout the show.
As described by Relix, this show certainly "represented the best and brightest in the bluegrass ether, a promising display of the longevity and enduring spirit of the genre."
