Tony Rice (born as David Anthony Rice on June 8, 1951 in Danville, Virginia) is an acoustic guitarist and bluegrass musician. He is considered as one of the most influential acoustic guitar players in bluegrass, progressive bluegrass, newgrass and acoustic jazz.. Rice spans the range of acoustic music, from traditional bluegrass to jazz-influenced "Spacegrass" music, to songwriter-oriented folk. Over the course of his career, he has played alongside JD Crowe and the New South, David Grisman (during the formation of Dawg Music) 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. He has recorded with drums, piano, soprano sax, as well as with traditional Bluegrass instrumentation.

For those in the direct path of this vast vortex of energy, expect to be further battered by sonic tsunamis fed by raging rhythms. Keel advisories will remain in effect until after the second set.
