(STROUDSBURG, PA) -- Sam Grisman Project brings the music of Grisman and Garcia to the historic Sherman Theater in downtown Stroudsburg on Friday, April 7. Doors are at 7:00pm, showtime is 8:00pm.

Grisman says about the show, “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."

His goal in starting the Sam Grisman Project was to build a platform to showcase his genuine passion and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg (David Grisman) and Jerry Garcia's music. By playing some of their beloved repertoire and sharing the original music that their collective has to offer, the Sam Grisman Project shows the impact that this music has had on members of the project and the world.

Grisman added, "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!”
