Craven' Grisman Radio

Edit your station name:

David Grisman and Joe Craven are the only seeds for this channel. David has created what he calls 'Dawg Music'. More complex tunes than bluegrass, more intricate tune structure than Celtic, Dawg Music is all his own.

Joe Craven has played both solo and with David Grisman for years and years now - he's a multi-instrumentalist/percussi o n i s t who is able to sit in with anybody, and make them sound even better.

I first encountered David Grisman when the Dave Grisman Quintet opened up for the Greatful Dead at a show I saw in Sacramento - I think that was in 1989. Ever since then, I've avidly followed the careers of both Grisman and one of the other members of this group through the years, Joe Craven. If you're a fan of complex instrumental music played by amazing multi-instrumentalists, you owe it to yourself to check them both out.

Both of these gentlemen have been heavily influenced by the great Django Reinhart - which is probably why I love their music so much.

I hope you do too!
