David Grisman at Moore Theatre

Promos for this event hint at the fact that the show might go in a direction you didn't expect it to. Allow us to explain, usually, what happens with these shows where there's an iconic performer on stage; the crowd expects them to play all their hits and remember the glory days. In this case, the poster clearly states that David "Dawg" Grisman is going to be playing "new compositions"; meanwhile, Sam is the one who will play the hits. It makes sense in the context that the family legacy has been passed down to Sam. He's the one who's currently on tour playing "Ripple", "Shady Grove" and "Whiskey in a Jar." To be fair, though, if you're headed to this show, you're going to want to see Dawg have a hand in performing his iconic hits.

Another easter egg from the poster that can give you an idea of what you can expect on Tuesday, March 25th, is the long list of names that have promised Dawg they'll come out for his birthday. There are going to be a ton of talented performers taking the stage apart from David and Sam. That's one of the elements that you probably love about bluegrass shows. It's a bunch of friends getting together to create music. With this being Dawg's 80th birthday party, did you really expect anything different? The show promises to be a great time, plus it's such a cool moment for fans to share in the milestone that David Grisman is arriving at.

Currently, there are seats on the main floor and two of the upper sections available for this event. The view from the upper levels at Moore Theater is great, but this is a show that is likely going to have the performers really connecting with the fans. Expect a rather informal event. It's a birthday party, after all! Knowing this, you should look for a seat on that main floor to be a part of Dawg's 80th at the Moore Theater on Tuesday, March 25th.
