David Grier’s journey to becoming one of the greatest flat-pick guitarists in the world started at a young age at the feet of Bluegrass legend, Bill Monroe. Grier’s father Lamar Grier was a member of “Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys” in the mid-1960s. Throughout his childhood, David spent hours listening to Monroe as well as many other prominent pioneers of Bluegrass music. Among the most influential to him were flat-pick guitarists Clarence White, Tony Rice and Doc Watson. David quickly found a strong passion for guitar and began to develop what is now his own world-renowned distinctive style.
