Artist John Sebastian And David Grisman

Not that the '60s revival has ever really died for its most devoted fans, but this pairing offers an enviable look back: John Sebastian first came to prominence as the main songwriter of The Lovin' Spoonful, and mandolinist David Grisman piled together a hybrid style of bluegrass and jazz that he dubbed "dawg music." Sharing the stage here, they've promised to perform a mix of traditional folk and blues, originals, and even some "classy instrumentals." Here's hoping they have some good stories to share in between, too.
