Biography

Early history

Grier was born in Washington D.C. in 1961. His family moved to Nashville when he was 3, and began playing guitar at age 6.[2] Grier's father Lamar was a banjo player in Bluegrass legend Bill Monroe's band for a number of years.[3]

Roland White was a major musical influence on the young Grier, and helped him learn to play. Grier's guitar playing is also heavily influenced by that of Clarence White, Roland's brother.

When he was 20 years old, Grier joined the Virginia band Full Time.[2] During the 1980s, he performed with Country Gazette and Doug Dillard, and then began to record his own albums beginning with Freewheeling in 1988.[3]

His current principal guitar is a Martin D-28 built in 1946.[2]
