GRANT GORDY / DENNIS LICHTMAN DUO

For many guitarists, landing a gig with bluegrass mandolinist David Grisman’s groundbreaking bluegrass/jazz quintet would be the culmination of a career in music. But for Grant Gordy, it was more of a beginning, an apprenticeship in combining bluegrass and jazz that served as a launchpad for his own music. Gordy has cultivated a reputation in multiple collaborative settings as one of the most highly-regarded young instrumentalists of his generation, causing Fretboard Journal to call him “An exciting young player who, despite a plethora of influences, now sounds like nobody but himself.”

Dennis Lichtman is a multi-instrumentalist (clarinet, mandolin, fiddle, and more) who has been living, performing, composing, and teaching in New York City since 2002. He is a Selmer Paris Artist as an endorser of their Signature Clarinet. His music was recently used in director David Simon’s The Plot Against America (HBO) and he has appeared this year as a clarinetist on Succession (HBO) and The Blacklist (NBC).

Lichtman projects include Brain, Cloud, The lovestruck Balladeers and a duo with Jerron Paxton. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, major festivals throughout the United States, and on stages in Europe, Brazil, and China. He is on the faculty of several jazz and string music camps and workshops, and has led college master classes and school workshops through the Midori Foundation, Lincoln Center’s Meet The Artist Series, and Beijing’s Ping-Pong Productions.
