Grant Gordy began teaching himself to play at age 13 after being gifted an acoustic guitar by
his father. In 2006 he was auditioned and was selected alongside 14 other young musicians to participate in Edgar Meyer’s “Porous Borders of Music” Carnegie Hall professional training workshop. The program commenced with a concert at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, where Grant debuted 2 of his
compositions. In 2007 he joined the David Grisman Quintet/Sextet and toured with the DGQ until 2013. He has toured with Tony Trischka, Andy Statman, Danny Barnes, Karan Casey and Matt Flinner and has recorded with Jacob Jolliff, Ross Martin, and Jayme Stone. In 2013 he founded the band Mr Sun with Darol Anger, Joe K. Walsh and bassist Karl Doty. Doty left the band and was later replaced by Ethan Jodziewicz, and later by current bassist
Aidan O’Donnell. In 2022 Grant Gordy (along with duo partner Ross Martin) was awarded a grant through Chamber Music America’s Presenter Consortium for Jazz program, funded through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
