About Tony Rice in brief
David Anthony Rice was an American guitarist and bluegrass musician. He was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2013. Rice’s music spans the range of acoustic from traditional bluegrass to jazz-influenced New Acoustic music to songwriter-oriented folk. He played alongside J. D. Crowe and the New South, David Grisman and Jerry Garcia, led his own Tony Rice Unit, collaborated with Norman Blake, recorded with his brothers Wyatt, Ron, and Larry, and co-founded the Bluegrass Album Band. Rice was born in Danville, Virginia but grew up in Los Angeles, California, where his father, Herb Rice, introduced him to bluegrass.
In the late 1980s Alison Krauss played regularly with the group in concert for about a year but never appeared on the albums. In 1997, Rice, his brother Larry, banjoist Herb Pedersen and Chris Hillman founded the so-called \”anti-group\” Rice, Hillman & Pedersen. In 2001 and 2010, he produced three volumes of music between 1997 and 2000s. He also played with John Carlini who also played on his album, The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales from the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 2. In 1993, Rice and Grisman recorded an original collection, The Tone Poems, where they used historical vintage mandolins and guitars for each track.
