I am pleased to be playing some shows with The Greencards in February and March
this year. This will give me an opportunity to play for some folks I might
not normally find at one of my own solo concerts. I am opening for them at
some selected venues as well, so please look at their website,
www.thegreenccards.com and come out for "An evening with The Greencards and
special guest David Grier"

The Calendar has been updated for David's 2007 shows with the Greencards, as well as his solo and Psychograss shows. Make a point of seeing David and the Greencards this spring!

Also, David is on Tony Trischka's new album "Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular." Incredible album. You need to catch David --along with cohort Mike Compton--picking with Earl Scruggs on Farewell Blues. Worth the price of the CD just for that. Check it out!

11/30/06 - Don't fret, we'll be getting up dates for 2007 very soon. For now, enjoy this photo taken by Stephen Lankford of David performing at Randy Wood's earlier in the month. Photo is also posted on the Miscellaneous Photos page through the Media section.

10/18/06 - IBMA 2006 is done and over with and by several accounts, David was again performing and jamming ad infinitum. Here are some new photos of David at IBMA.

Also, there were some complaints that the review of David's Albany NY concert couldn't be easily read, since the review was in a JPEG/scanned format. You can now read the review as plain HTML here at this site or read the review online at Celticguitarmusic.com.

9/21/06 - David had a great time touring the Northeast -- and apparently the Northeast did too! Read this review "He Knows How to Pick 'Em" by Glenn Weiser of David's September 9th, 2006 Albany NY concert at the WAMC Performing Arts Center.

8/21/06 - David's on a tour of the great Northwest until early September, so make sure to catch him while he's there! He'll be at the Northwest String Summit for several days with Noam Pikelny and Shadd Cobb (a must see). He'll then be in Eugene Oregon on Aug. 28 for a solo house concert (please contact Alan Cline at 541-513-4667 for details/reservations). Then it's off to Washington State for a concert at Dusty Strings and then a concert/workshop in Winlock.

Also, please note, that David is currently sitting for new promotional photos, so there are no promo shots available in the press kit. Please contact David or check back in the future for the new photos.

The Instrument Gallery ran it's course. We're looking at something new and exciting to put in its place.

Lastly, our hit counter stopped working a week ago. Your Humble Webmaster is aware and has yet to check with the hosting company as to why this failed (this is one of their scripts and it may have been disabled due to all the revamping of their systems that they are doing on their end). We are aware of the problem and will try to fix it soon.

6/2/06 - Photo updates ad nauseam! David has provided a couple dozen vintage photos which have finally been added to the Photos section of the Media page. There is now one section that is nothing but vintage promotional photos (as well as some pro-taken black and whites). Also there are several more in the Mike Compton and Miscellaneous photo sections. And, for those of you who have lost sleep over David's preferred plectrum choice, you can refer to this photo.

David enjoyed his tour of the UK and Prague. Thanks to all those who came out! David's got a busy schedule ahead of him, so make sure to come out and say hey when he's in your area. Among those stops will be the Celebration of Bill Monroe in Bloomington Indiana June 10th with Mike Compton and Butch Robins. This is a must see concert--and there is also a workshop earlier in the day with David, Compton and Robins. Call 812-825-5514 for details or email the webmaster Jim Richter at jim@richterdigitalarts.net.

5/5/06 - David wants to thank all the positive comments for the new website. It'd been something in the planning for awhile, so he's glad you're making the best of it!

David, Mike Compton, and Butch Robins have consented to performing in Bloomington Indiana Saturday June 10th as part of a "Celebration of Bill Monroe's Music."
