                              Oliver, Spencer and Connor Craven
The Cravens have a double cd for sale which was recorded at a live concert at the Brossman Theater in Ephrata, Pennsylvania.  The cds are a combination of original material such as "Old Yankee Town", "I Love My Smokey Western Pennsylvania Milltown Home!", "The Dictionary Blues" and "Lumens" and classics like "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", "Hey Good Lookin'", "Angel Band" and "The Tennessee Waltz". Tim on guitar, vocals and harmonica; Oliver on fiddle, mandolin and vocals; Matt on fiddle, mandolin and vocals, Kim on acoustic bass with Spencer Craven adding some on drums and Connor on balloon ball and antics. Add a few fun fiddle tunes and $15 is a great deal for these cds of great music and wonderfully bad jokes.
The Band will also soon be releasing material including "The Wind Is Free" and "Simple Man" which you can currently see and hear as video right here on our "Songs and videos" page
                                      
 
 
"This beat-up town's a mess
 I think I'll take a train out west
 and find a place to get it on"
 
 "Leavin' With Billy Jean"
  by Oliver Craven
There is a place not too far from Bedford in a little meadow near The Old Lincoln Highway in the Laurel Highlands of pretty Pennsylvania. By the Buffalo Farm and the Old Ship Hotel, the Pie Shoppe in Laughlintown, Story Book Forest, Fort Ligonier and the guy with everything he owns in a bag walking past the rusty gone trucks by the side of the road. Take a walk off the numbered road into the green time machine. Nothin's what it used to be but even loss doesn't last forever. Get lost with
The Cravens.
