Old & In The Way was an American bluegrass band formed in 1973, featuring Peter Rowan (guitar, vocals), Vassar Clements (fiddle), Jerry Garcia (banjo, vocals), David Grisman (mandolin, vocals), and John Kahn (string bass). The group performed traditional tunes alongside bluegrass-flavored versions of songs like the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" and Peter Rowan's "Panama Red". Old & In The Way played approximately 50 live shows through much of 1973 and briefly reconvened for one festival in 1974. Their self-titled debut album, Old & In The Way, released in February 1975, became a best-selling bluegrass album. Notable posthumous releases include That High Lonesome Sound (1996), Live At The Boarding House: The Complete Shows (2013), and Old & In The Way (Live at Sonoma State, 11/4/73) (2023).
