Peter Rowan and Sam Grisman Project will team up for a historic collaboration on January 9th, 2025 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN to honor the legacy of Old & In the Way, Rowan’s groundbreaking bluegrass band featuring Jerry Garcia and Sam Grisman’s father, David Grisman.
Sam Grisman shared his excitement in a heartfelt announcement, writing, “To say that I am honored to make this particular announcement is probably the understatement of the decade.”
He went on to announce, “We’ll be playing music from Old & In the Way, and exploring Peter’s other musical universes, as well as songbooks of my father [David “Dawg” Grisman] and his dear friend [Jerry Garcia].”

The lineup for the night includes several of Grisman’s musical heroes, with more special guests to be announced in the coming weeks. Mandolin virtuosos Sam Bush and Tim O’Brien will take the stage, along with Grisman’s hand-picked ensemble featuring Dominick Leslie (who will celebrate his birthday that night) on mandolin, Alex Hargreaves (Billy Strings) on fiddle, Nat Smith on cello, Victor Furtado on banjo, Max Flansburg on guitar, and singer-songwriter Logan Ledger. Grisman and his rhythm section partner Chris J. English will round out the crew.
“Celebrating Peter’s catalog and his musicality has been the highlight of my year,” Grisman added, “and getting to curate an evening of Old & In The Way music and so much more, with a cavalcade of friends and heroes on the sacred stage at Ryman, seems like the most spectacular start we could have drawn up for 2025.”
Tickets will be available via an artist pre-sale starting Wednesday, October 16th at 10 a.m. CT, using the code “SGPETER,” followed by the general on-sale on Friday, October 18th at 10:00 a.m. CT. Find complete ticketing details here.
