David Grisman at Royce Hall

MUSIC

Chris Thile may have won a MacArthur grant for his mandolin skills, but David Grisman is an O.G. of progressive Appalachian mountain music. He combines jazz, bluegrass and classical for a melange of music he calls “Dawg” but really just sounds like the best of Americana played by the hands of a master. Royce Hall, UCLA. 8 p.m. Fri., $20-$60. cap.ucla.edu.
