Come help us celebrate the release of dazzling multi-instrumentalist and genre-busting composer, Joe Craven's new album Mo' Joe, on which he breathes new life into such folk classics as "Hear Jerusalem Moan" and "Banks of the Ohio" with rocking arrangements and daring instrumentalization.

Joe's passionate, energetic performances on mandolin, violin, and percussion with Gerry Garcia, David Grisman, Psychograss, and many others have delighted audiences and earned him a reputation for great adventurousness and a playful musical sense of humor.

In the words of David Grisman, "Everything Joe touches turns to music," and this is certainly true of the famed percussion extravaganzas in which he employs everything from his mouth, chest, and skull to cheese graters and drinking glasses.

Likewise, the boundaries of folk music seem to expand whenever Joe picks up the mandolin or violin and sets tradition on its ear with his wild, clever stylings. Joe sums it up well in the "folk rap" number "Spokenfolk" off his new album: "I'm here to reflect . . . not disrespect/Life's a celebration so what the heck?"
