Phil Cutter, landlord of the pub, said: 'For a man of my age, he was quite a big celebrity of his time - he had a few shows on the go.
'He's taken a step back from that.
'I'd heard he was quite an accomplished musician but didn't realise quite how much.
'It's a labour of love for him.'
He said that the drinking spot had had its fair share of star visitors over the years, including Alan Partridge creator Steve Coogan, and Men Behaving Badly actor Neil Morrissey.
But neither of them had showed off their musical skills.
Mr Grossman reached number 49 in the UK singles charts in 1977 with punk band Jet Bronx And The Forbidden.
The track was called Ain't Doin' Nothing.
He returned to gigging in 2008, currently with the New Forbidden.
Mr Grossman previously visited Norwich in 2002 when he went to sample meals at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital as part of a national drive to improve NHS food.
The free gig at The Murderers is from 8pm on Friday, June 3.
