David Grissom

Long before signature guitars carried his initials, David Grissom had already earned the respect of generations of players through his work on stages, in studios, and on records across the worlds of rock, blues, country, and Americana. If you’ve listened to Joe Ely, Buddy Guy, Ringo Starr, the Chicks, or especially John Mellencamp, there’s a good chance you’ve heard his distinctive playing. But whether he’s playing in his capacity as a solo artist, a trusty sideman, a songwriter, or a founding member of Storyville, Grissom serves the song before he serves anyone else. No other philosophy could’vt turned him into one of the most widely respected guitarists in American roots music.
