Deb Grisham

It takes someone with experience in all aspects of the music business to understand how to make decisions that will direct the careers of aspiring and established musicians and artists. Deb Grisham has that kind of varied experience. Beginning with her own career as a singer in a local band in her home state of Maine, she eventually moved to Nashville to pursue her dream, but later found out she got more of a thrill from working behind the scenes with other artists.

Deb, along with her husband Doyle Grisham (long-time steel guitar player for Jimmy Buffet’s Coral Reefer Band, and session player for artists such as Randy Travis, Dan Seals, Jim Glaser, Dr. Hook and many others), took over management duties for Fireside Recording Studio, which was owned by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner. Her experience there expanded to include engineering sessions and working with the publishing arm of the company.
