Joe Craven is a multi-instrumentalist with a penchant for the mischievous. He is a well known sight at acoustic music festivals and, for many years, was violinist and percussionist for the David Grisman Quintet and the Garcia-Grisman Project featuring Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia. He is the Director of RiverTunes Music Camp and a Co-Director of the Wintergrass Youth Academy. Craven has played with many notable musicians including Stephane Grappelli, Alison Brown, Rob Ickes and David Lindley.
Peter Wilson is an award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist with numerous recordings to his credit. He’s member of the Deadbeats – a long running tip-of-the-hat to the music and songs of the Grateful Dead. He’s a founding member of Paul Emery’s 1000 Kisses Deep – The Songs of Leonard Cohen. Along with his songwriting cohorts, Mountain John Hilligoss and Moe Dixon toured and released a studio CD. His vintage rock & roll band, The Pyramids, have played music for dancing since 1986.
Sean Lehe is California based guitarist for West Coast festival favorites, Jelly Bread, and formerly with Poor Man's Whiskey and Izabella. With heavy doses of guitar hero influences like Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio, Lehe weaves his many influences into a tapestry of Neo-American psychedelia and groove music.
San Francisco native Anna Elva's current undertakings include being Director & Educator at Music Time in Livermore and a freelance drummer. Some recent projects include China Dolls (Women-Empowered Grateful Dead), Smokedaddies (Funk, Soul, Jam), Mark Karan’s Buds (Soul, Blues, R&B), West Grand Boulevard (Motown, R&B), Like a Rose (Jerry Garcia Band) and Professor Jones & the RendezVooDoo (Swampedelic Rock & Soul).
Mark "Murph" Murphy joined the Freddy Jones Band (‘In a Daydream’) in the late ’90s which found him touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton, and shows with Pete Townshend, Train, Gov’t Mule and more. He moved to the Bay area from Chicago in 2001 and immersed himself in the local jam band scene, playing with Izabella, Poor Man’s Whiskey, Tracorum, Stu Allen and Bizar Bazaar.
