Merlin Gene Grigsby

Post by Daniel McKee »

So recently I've started seeing all these postings and various things about a guy named Merlin Gene Grigsby. Is this an artist that has been around or just started out? I do know he wears really nice rhinestone suits (which I think is super cool). I'd just never heard of him (and I listen to anything and everything, even the obscure stuff). Anyway so I did my google search on him to learn more and came up with very little. I enjoy some of his music but just want to know more about him.

I don't know what his last name is but I saw a new program on RFD TV this past weekend that was entitled the Merlin Gene show. I had never heard of him but he was an older guy and had a great band with Doug Jernigan on steel. I think the show will be on each week.

yep that's him. Its like all of a sudden I'm literally hearing Merlin Gene's name a lot and I'd just never heard of him before, like at all. Is this an artist that has been around?

I can look at him and listen to him and tell he's been around for decades. But...I'd never even heard of him until you posted his name. :!:

Is that Doug Jernigan on steel? Yes... Absolutely.

Where has Merlin Gene been all my life?
