Joe Craven & the Sometimers / Caspar, CA

JOE CRAVEN & THE SOMETIMERS

On Sunday, February 7th, Joe Craven will bring his latest musical project to the Caspar Community Center for a concert and CD release celebration. Always one to keep his music fresh, Joe has now hooked up with a couple of hot young pickers worthy of his chops: bassist, Jonathan Stoyanoff and Bruce MacMillan on guitar, dobro, and vocals. As Joe Craven & The Sometimers, they bring a world of musical influences together within the crucible of Americana.

Multi-instrumentalist, Joe Craven is often best known for his 17 year tenure with the David Grisman Quintet yet, he is also an educator, recording artist, music camp director and self proclaimed, "fashion insultant". He has performed with Jerry Garcia, David Lindley, Alison Brown, and Jason Marsalis among many, many others. On his last visit to the Mendocino Coast, Joe bought his group, Mamajowali, a collaboration with African hunters harp virtiuoso, Mamadou Sidibe and guitarist, Walter Strauss.

Like Joe's previous performances in the area, this upcoming concert on Sunday, February 7th, promises to be full of high energy and musical surprises. Advance tickets are available for $15 at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg or at BrownPaperTickets.com or for $20 at the door. Children are free. Beer, wine and snacks will be available. The doors open at 7:00pm and the music starts at 7:30. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Caspar Community and more information can be found at 964-4997 or casparcommons.org.
