Grisman grew up in a Conservative Jewish household in Hackensack, New Jersey. He started his musical career in 1963 as a member of Even Dozen Jug Band. His nickname "Dawg" was affectionately assigned by his close friend Jerry Garcia in 1973 (the two met in 1964 at a Bill Monroe show at Sunset Park in West Grove, Pennsylvania). "Dawg Music" is what he calls his mixture of bluegrass and Django Reinhardt/Stéphane Grappelli-influenced jazz, as highlighted on his album Hot Dawg (recorded Oct. 1978, released 1979). Stephane Grappelli played on a couple of tracks on Hot Dawg and then the 1981 recording Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live. It was Grisman's combination of Reinhardt-era Jazz, bluegrass, folk, Old World Mediterranean string band music, as well as modern Jazz fusion that came to embody "Dawg" music.
Grisman's father had been a professional trombonist at one time and had young David begin piano lessons at the age of seven. In the early 1950s, Grisman heard the beginnings of rock 'n' roll and was influenced by pop music and everything he heard. Following his father's death, when David was 10, he drifted away from the piano. He took it up again when he was about 13 or 14, soon discovering folk music through the Kingston Trio, a group that became popular during the American folk music revival.
David and three friends from his school then met folklorist and musician Ralph Rinzler in Passaic, New Jersey, and became greatly influenced by Rinzler's vast knowledge about traditional music. During this period, Greenwich Village in New York City was already bustling with folk musicians, and David realized what he wanted to do with his life. In 1963, Grisman played in the Even Dozen Jug Band, who recorded an album that year on Elektra Records.
Grisman did a Red Allen and Frank Wakefield session for Folkways Records in 1963 but didn't perform with Red Allen and the Kentuckians until 1966. Also in 1966, Grisman recorded Early Dawg, a live recording from a show in New York that featured the talents of Del McCoury on guitar and vocals, and Jerry McCoury on bass. The album was not released until 1980. Grisman then played mandocello on Tom Paxton's album Morning Again (Elektra, 1967).
In 1967, Grisman was in a psychedelic rock group called Earth Opera with Peter Rowan. In 1973, Grisman joined Rowan, Vassar Clements, Jerry Garcia and John Kahn to form the bluegrass group Old and in the Way. It was while with this group that Garcia gave him his nickname, after a dog he saw behind Grisman while they were driving in Stinson Beach. In 1974, Grisman, Rowan, and Richard Greene joined Bill Keith, and the late, great Clarence White, in the group Muleskinner. In 1974, Grisman was also in The Great American Music Band. Then in 1975 he started his own band, the David Grisman Quintet (DGQ), which released its first album in 1977.
Grisman also played mandocello on Bonnie Raitt's album Sweet Forgiveness (1977).

Grisman creció en un hogar judío conservador en Hackensack, Nueva Jersey. Empezó su carrera musical en 1963 como miembro de Even Dozen Jug Band. Su apodo "Dawg" le fue asignado cariñosamente por su amigo cercano Jerry García en 1973 (los dos se conocieron en 1964 en un show de Bill Monroe en Sunset Park en West Grove, Pennsylvania). "Dawg Music" es lo que él llama su mezcla de bluegrass y jazz con influencia de Django Reinhardt/Stéphane Grappelli, como se destaca en su álbum Hot Dawg (grabado en octubre de 1978, publicado en 1979). Stéphane Grappelli tocó en un par de temas en Hot Dawg y luego en la grabación de 1981 Stephane Grappelli y David Grisman Live. Fue la combinación de Grisman de Jazz de la era Reinhardt, bluegrass, folk, música de bandas de cuerda del Mediterráneo del Viejo Mundo, así como la fusión de Jazz moderno que llegó a encarnar la música de "Dawg".
El padre de Grisman había sido trombonista profesional en un momento dado e hizo que el joven David comenzara a tomar clases de piano a los siete años. A principios de los 50, Grisman escuchó los comienzos del rock 'n' roll y fue influenciado por la música pop y todo lo que escuchaba. Tras la muerte de su padre, cuando David tenía 10 años, se alejó del piano. Lo retomó cuando tenía 13 o 14 años, y pronto descubrió la música folclórica a través del Kingston Trio, un grupo que se hizo popular durante el resurgimiento de la música folclórica americana.
David y tres amigos de su escuela conocieron al folclorista y músico Ralph Rinzler en Passaic, Nueva Jersey, y se vieron muy influenciados por el vasto conocimiento de Rinzler sobre la música tradicional. Durante este período, Greenwich Village en Nueva York ya estaba lleno de músicos folclóricos, y David se dio cuenta de lo que quería hacer con su vida. En 1963, Grisman tocó en la Even Dozen Jug Band, que grabó un álbum ese año en Elektra Records.
Grisman hizo una sesión de Red Allen y Frank Wakefield para Folkways Records en 1963, pero no actuó con Red Allen y los Kentuckians hasta 1966. También en 1966, Grisman grabó Early Dawg, una grabación en directo de un espectáculo en Nueva York que contó con el talento de Del McCoury en la guitarra y la voz, y Jerry McCoury en el bajo. El álbum no se publicó hasta 1980. Grisman luego tocó el mandocello en el álbum de Tom Paxton Morning Again (Elektra, 1967).
En 1967, Grisman estuvo en un grupo de rock psicodélico llamado Earth Opera con Peter Rowan. En 1973, Grisman se unió a Rowan, Vassar Clements, Jerry García y John Kahn para formar el grupo de bluegrass Old and in the Way. Fue mientras con este grupo que García le dio su apodo, por un perro que vio detrás de Grisman mientras conducían por Stinson Beach. En 1974, Grisman, Rowan y Richard Greene se unieron a Bill Keith, y al difunto gran Clarence White, en el grupo Muleskinner. En 1974, Grisman también estaba en la Great American Music Band. Luego, en 1975, comenzó su propia banda, el David Grisman Quintet (DGQ), que lanzó su primer álbum en 1977.
Grisman también tocó el mandocello en el álbum Sweet Forgiveness (1977) de Bonnie Raitt.
