Plot Summary: The deeply rooted musical friendship between Jerry Garcia and David Grisman is exquisitely detailed in the 80-minute musical documentary Grateful Dawg. Produced by Acoustic Disc
and 11th Hour Productions, and directed by Gillian Grisman, Grateful Dawg includes live Garcia/Grisman performances as well as rare and unique personal moments from the studio, backstage and
home-style jam sessions. Interviews with friends and family are intertwined with live and archival elements, creating an intimate portrait of Jerry and David's relationship. Grateful Dawg traces
the Garcia/Grisman connection from their earliest days as budding bluegrassers, through the creation of the legendary Old & In the Way in the mid '70s, to the Garcia/Grisman Band that
highlighted their love of traditional acoustic music in the '90s.
