January 8, 2007 | Joe Craven Video

Amazing Google Video of multi-instrumentalist and mega-talent Joe Craven at the 2005 Oregon County Fair. Armed with only his F5, and a Loop Station, Joe wows his audience with his incredible mandolin prowess, rhythmic accuracy, and a Robin Williams comedic wit.

Former percussionist with the David Grisman Quintet, he's as good on the violin and anything you can bang or strike in drums as he is on the mandolin. Here he demonstrates his folk/rap prowess.
