In 1995, Tony became the original guitarist in the David Grisman Quintet, with which he helped to alter the course of American string band music.
After four years of touring and recording with David, Tony embarked on a solo career with his own "Tony Rice Unit" as well as numerous other recording projects such as the widely acclaimed "Bluegrass Album with his legendary 1935 Martin D-28 (formerly owned by Clarence White).
