Long is the tale of David Ryan and his history with The Grass. Well not, that long...but Dave first came and jammed with then Brett and John reforming the Grass in 2000. Just 18 years of age Dave brought his Jazz funk mind into the organic rock styles of GG, and things took quite a turn. About a half a year later down the rebuilding phase Tim Kerrigan stepped into the mix, and roughy one year after Dave became involved in the project Bob Schwecherl sat down to complete a five piece jam machine. That's what we did best back then was hack and jam in the garage. So two years after Dave stepped into the picture ... poof! Like a puff of wind dave completed his two years at OCC, and was off to UC Berkeley for two years of business school. Twenty-four shows with the line-up which we really let explore the jam.

Flash forward to October 2005, it's been three years since Dave left the Grass. Dave spent two years at Berkely and one living in Ireland. He's back from his world travels and he's ready to play some disc golf and jam some tunes. Here is the Grass more seasoned, an album recorded (which Dave played on), the amazing vocal addition of Lisa Blue, and a song focused band. Dave Ryan is a welcomed return and some day later I'll tell you some more about him...
