David Grier
Bluegrass Flatpicking Masterclass and concert led by David Grier
October 17th, 2026
Join David at Pursell Lutherie for a wide-open Q&A style 60-minute workshop. Beyond improving your playing skills, our workshops are a great place to be apart of a musical conversation with other people that love the art of sound. If you are the type of person who goes home after a concert and plays their instruments instead of going straight to bed, the events at our shop is where you want to be!
In 1988 David began recording a series of solo albums for Rounder Records that received wide critical praise. Those albums brought him to prominence in the bluegrass community and earned him three IBMA Guitar Player of the Year awards. In 2000 Acoustic Guitar magazine named him one of its “Artists of the Decade,” and his solo record I've Got the House to Myself was listed among the magazine’s "100 Essential Acoustic Guitar Recordings of All Time." He also appears on four Grammy Award–winning projects: True Life Blues: A Tribute to Bill Monroe; The Great Dobro Sessions; Alison Brown’s Fairweather; and Amazing Grace 2: A Country Salute to Gospel.
Released in March of 2026, David’s Album “Ways of the World” showcases his vocals for the first time on five original songs. The new album is a brilliant example of David’s expansive capability and artistic evolution. He continues to captivate listeners with exciting new material while keeping traditional virtuosic flatpick guitar at the heart of his sound.
