Painted Mandolin is a plugged-in acoustic quartet of original compositions, reupholstered covers, and reimagined medleys. The concept of PM (whose name references the Garcia/Hunter composition "Ruben and Cherise"), was born out of mutual love and direct affiliation to the musical leanings of Jerry Garcia. Featuring Joe Craven, who was a percussionist and fiddler for David Grisman and Jerry Garcia in the Garcia/Grisman project... plus Matt Hartle and Larry Graff as its founding members. Dan Robbins with his exceptional bass rounds out the quartet.Instrumentals, high energy grooves, and vocals shared by all, the quartet features a backwoods toolbox of acoustic guitar, "banjotar" (a 6-string guitar tuned banjo), mandolin, fiddle, hand & mouth percussion, and upright bass that create a sound of memories, traditions, and innovations all in a fresh jam that Jerry would like and our like-minded fans do enjoy. We think you will too.
Buffalo Blues Trio will transport you to another time celebrating American Roots Blues from the 1920s - 1960’s, and paying homage to female blues artists like Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Big Mama Thornton, Janis Joplin and more, with Diane Bock on double bass, Ramon Marc Butler on guitar and Michele Murphy on vocals.
