Overview
It's time to get the band back together! Stark Raven is planning two exciting reunion shows for 2017 in Charleston, WV — AUGUST 10 (Clay Center) & AUGUST 11 (Live on the Levee). We've created this crowdfunding campaign to help make it all happen & a variety of "perks" to choose from for your contribution. Thank you for your support now and for all that you've always shown this crazy group of kids. We can't wait to play for you again!

ABOUT THE BAND

Stark Raven, formed in the mid-1980’s in Charleston, WV, was a genre bending band that played for thousands of excited fans through out West Virginia and the United States during the nine years that they were together. Combining acoustic and electric guitars, bass and drums, an amplified string section (electric violin and cello), electric dulcimer, mandolin, harmonica, accordion and tight three part vocals, Stark Raven recorded 2 albums ‘100 Million Reasons’ and ‘Learning to Fly’ of mostly original songs. Combining folk, rock, blues, classical and mountain music they achieved a unique sound that they coined Rhythm and Roll.

The band played their last concert in 1992. Most of the members became members of the Mountain Stage Band. Eventually violinist Deni Bonet and bassist John Kessler left to pursue solo careers and multi instrumentalist Bob Webb became a sought after recording engineer. Ron Sowell (vocal/guitar), Ammed Solomon (drums) and Julie Adams (vocal/guitar) still form the core of the Mountain Stage Band heard today on NPR on 200 stations.

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN / REUNION

Stark Raven will be performing this summer for the first time in 25 years! Members will be traveling from Washington, New York and Oregon. Money raised from this campaign will be used to cover travel, rehearsal and concert expenses. The reunion shows will take place...

Thursday, AUGUST 10 | The Clay Center (Charleston, WV)

Friday, AUGUST 11 | Live on the Levee (Charleston, WV)

Let's make it happen!
