WHAT:               Joe Craven in concert in Davis
Where:       May 17, 2008 at 7:30 pm at DHS Performing Arts Building
The Davis Schools Orchestral Music Association (DSOMA) announced today that Joe Craven will be performing a benefit concert on behalf of Save Our Music (SOM), a combined community effort that supports raising the $200,000 needed to continue all Davis schools music programs in spite of budget cuts.
The concert is May 17 at the Davis High School performing arts hall. Doors open at 7 pm and the concert begins at 7:30 pm with a special opening act of "Elvis and the E-Men". Tickets are $35 each and can be purchased at Watermelon Music and at the door.

The dinner is $10 tickets are also available at Watermelon Music. All proceeds go to SOM to maintain Davis' outstanding orchestral, choral, and band programs for all Davis students.
Joe Craven is nationally and internationally known but lives and contributes to his local community of Davis. According to the Los Angeles Times "Joe Craven is virtuostic" and a "crowd pleaser" (The New York Times). Joe Craven is a madman with anything that has strings attached; violin, mandolin, tin can, bedpan, and cookie tin, to name a few.  Educator, former museum curator, visual artist, actor/storyteller, festival emcee and former 17-year vet for mandolinist David Grisman, Joe has recorded and played with many folks ranging from jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli to Grateful Dead Guitarist Jerry Garcia to The Persuasions.
