 Acoustic Productions presents   

David Grier

Performing at the Juliette Opry! 

Friday, May 7, 2010 at 7:30pm.    Admission is $15.   Limited seating so reserve your tickets early by calling Joe Cullison at 478-254-2495 or emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Juliette Opry is located in the heart of beautiful downtown Juliette, 16 miles north of Macon, GA.

Get up close and personal to one of your favorites. You might call Grier a hereditary picker - his father Lamar played banjo for bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe right around the time John Sebastian was extolling the musical prowess of those talented Tennesseans. The elder Grier also played guitar, and, considering it more versatile than the banjo, began giving his son pointers on the instrument when David was 6. Grier had a country musician's dream childhood: hanging out backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, riding on Bill Monroe's bus with his dad, and getting underfoot at picking parties boasting the best players in bluegrass. Now, at 45, his acclaimed flatpicking ranks with that of acoustic icons Tony Rice, Doc Watson and Norman Blake.

SAT, May 8 - Guitar Workshop with David Grier in Macon, GA.  Noon - 2pm  

Class Focus:   The Secret to Cleaner, Faster Flatpicking and Deep Crosspicking.    This will be a great opportunity to learn the secrets of one of the best flatpickers and crosspickers on the scene.   David will share his techniques for faster and cleaner playing and how to get the most bang for your buck when decoding and practicing a tune.  On request, David will evaluate your playing and provide personalized suggestions that will bring you peace with your guitar.  The workshop will be liimited to ten people.  $45  For reservations - contact Joe Cullison at 478-254-2495 or email Joe at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
