Hall!! Not a show you can catch "next time". Grant Gordy - "An exciting young player who, despite a plethora of influences, now sounds like nobody but himself." So proclaims The Fretboard Journal of Brooklyn-based guitarist Grant Gordy, who in recent years has emerged as one of the most highly regarded young instrumentalists of his generation. Having spent six years in the guitar chair with the legendary David Grisman Quintet/Sextet, he's also worked alongside such musical luminaries as Edgar Meyer, Steve Martin and Darol Anger. In myriad collaborative capacities he's performed all over North America, Europe and in India. Gordy has received attention from international music periodicals such as Just Jazz Guitar, Acoustic Guitar Magazine and No Depression, who describe Grant as: “A special musician and a strikingly singular voice on the guitar; one that is worth giving your attention.” Jacob Jolliff grew up just south of Portland, OR. He was awarded a full scholarship to The Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2007. Shortly after graduating from Berklee, he won the National Mandolin Championship. In 2014, he joined the progressive bluegrass group, Yonder Mountain String Band. He toured with YMSB until the end of 2019, releasing two albums with them. Currently the mandolinist is focusing on his own group, The Jacob Jolliff Band, which includes some of the most virtuosic young acoustic musicians in the world. With The JJB, he released an album of all original material in 2018 entitled “Instrumentals Vol. 1.” Come and join us for a special night that will be filled with some really incredible music from two ridiculously talented artists!
