Painted Mandolin is a new all-star quartet dedicated to
exploring the acoustic side of Jerry Garcia.
The group digs into Garcia’s music from his jug band days with Old and
In the Way, the Grateful Dead’s Reckoning and his collaborations with David
Grisman in the Garcia Grisman Band.
Painted Mandolin features:
Joe Craven – violin/mandolin/percussion
Matt Hartle – lead guitar
Larry Graff – lead guitar
Roger Sideman – bass
Joe Craven is not just an entertaining musician with a
penchant for the mischievous, he is a teacher and student all at once and he
will draw you into his performance by including you as though you’re part of
the show itself. His gift of gab is unprecedented and his musical knowledge
impressive. Joe’s openness and expression of gratitude for the gifts he’s
acquired make it all the more fun for him to share them with his audience.
Matt Hartle is the guitarist for the band Shady Groove
and The China Cats. The band has cemented its status as a leading light in the
improvisational rock scene of the Bay Area and beyond, consistently providing
energetic musical sets, whether opening for nationally touring acts or hosting
their own full-blown jam sessions that can last all night.
Larry Graff plays rhythm and lead guitar in the Banana
Slug String Band.
Roger Sideman plays a range of styles on electric and
upright bass. He has performed or
recorded with Everyone Orchestra, David Nelson, Frank Wakefield, Michael Kang,
Stu Allen and Mars Hotel, Melvin Seals, Mark Karan, Chris Berry, Aaron Redner,
Jason Crosby, Henry Kaiser, James Nash, David Gans, Sunshine Becker, and Rob
Barraco.
