Sam Grisman Project live in Grass Valley

Experience Sam Grisman Project live on October 16th

The Sam Grisman Project is scheduled to perform at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, California on October 16, 2026. The Sam Grisman Project blends elements of progressive bluegrass, jazz, and jam band improvisation. Led by mandolinist Sam Grisman – son of legendary Dawg-style innovator David Grisman – the group is known for its energetic performances and instrumental prowess, often incorporating original compositions alongside reinterpretations of traditional tunes. Their sound features tight harmonies, sophisticated arrangements, and a focus on virtuosity across multiple instruments.

The Nevada County Fairgrounds has served as a central community hub since its establishment in 1936. Originally conceived as a venue for agricultural exhibits and livestock shows, it has evolved to host a diverse range of events throughout the year. Beyond the annual Nevada County Fair, the grounds regularly accommodate concerts, festivals, trade shows, and other public gatherings. The fairgrounds’ main outdoor arena provides a substantial capacity for larger events while several indoor facilities offer flexibility for smaller functions. The location is situated within a historically significant area of Gold Country California and contributes to the region’s cultural landscape. It remains an active site for both recreational and commercial activities within Nevada County.
