Dave Ricketts
Dave Ricketts, guitarist, singer, cornetist and Gaucho's
bandleader. Aka Rave Dicketts, he has been leading Gaucho since 2002. Dave's
musical path is broad, he grew up playing trumpet in band class and guitar in
his own band, his early loves being the Beatles and Louis Armstrong. Drifting
to SF on a whim after graduation from classical music school in New Mexico he
soon landed a job with the Hot Club of San Francisco.
Dave has performed with many great contemporary musicians
including Dan Hicks, David Grisman and Father Guido Sarducci. He has toured
places like Iceland, Amsterdam, NYC, Mexico and Samois–sur–Seine (Django
Reinhardt’s final home.) These experiences combined with his classical
background have enriched Dave’s approach to music.
Craig Ventresco
Craig Ventresco plays a repertoire of songs from the
brief but fecund era of acoustically recorded music. Like Fred Van Eps -- the
gifted banjoist who recorded hundreds of cylinders and 78 rpm records between
1897 and 1927 -- who mastered his instrument by listening to earlier
recordings, Mr. Ventresco has developed a repertoire of songs learned by
listening to wax cylinders and shellac records of the acoustic era. For over
twenty years, San Franciscans have heard Craig Ventresco’s evocative guitar
playing on street corners and in cafes. He has performed and recorded with Bo
Grumpus and Janet Klein, and is well known for his extensive contributions to
the soundtrack to the documentary CRUMB. Mr. Ventresco plays guitar, banjo,
ukelele, and mandolin, often with the accompaniment of singer Meredith Axelrod.
