About Me |
|
| No Stranger to acoustic driven music, Sydney born Mick Raven
has been performing acoustically for a number of years.Back in 1996 he put together the 'SoundWaves Songwriters'
which helped revive the Manly Fishermans Club, the Brookvale
hotel, the Time and Tide hotel (Dee Why ) and the President hotel
(Belrose) to name a few.
Artists such as iOTA, Skulker,Troy Kemp,
Queen B and 30 others strutted their stuff at the SoundWaves
Songwriters between 1996 - 97. These Venues went on to book
live music with the Manly 'Fishos' still supporting original music today!Before going solo, Mick performed in Northern Beaches band the
'Treasure Tree', which recorded on four compilation CD's
'Sensory Deprivation' 'Blind, Naked and helpless' 'Perfection is Boring'
and the 'Rockafellas Xmas edition' before recording their CD 'Spinoff'
in 1999.
After they recorded their second CD 'Runes' in 2002
(which was never released) the band split.Mick went back to his first passion, the acoustic guitar.
Having penned over 500 songs he was keen to get as much
recorded and released as was humanly possible.
The Mick Raven Trio was formed in 2003 and recorded a live EP "Arctic"
in 2004. Mick then decided to continue on as a solo artist.With many shows behind him, Mick hopes to expand his influence
with his second CD 'Tribal Spirit' which should be available when mastering is completed this year.
Mick has been involved with the annual Northern Beaches Folk Festival and has performed every year at the festival since 2003.
The Festival has been doing showcases under the name 'BeachFolk' in 2007-2008 to which Mick has performed regularly. follow mickraven at http://twitter.com |
