"A brooding Cabaret, of turbulent angst."
Throw in a little punk rock, some rockabilly guitar, and a whole lotta
rock star, and that's Raven. He seems to be charged with the
spirit of the
Stranglers,
Bruce Springsteen,
Bryan Ferry, and
Paul Westerberg. Raven spent many years in the UK, with a grand fan club
across the pond to prove it, he currently resides in the Twin Cities.
Raven's
song repertoire ranges from Bob Dylan and the Pleasure Seekers covers to
original work such as Punk inspired "Afterthought" and the melancholic
sweetness of "Brilliance".

"Raven draws you into his experience because he has such passion about
his music, and it shines through. And it's something I wish more bands
exhibited, a heartfelt love for the job they do."
"There's no
doubt that Raven has a true punk rock heart the likes of which I'm not
sure I've ever encountered in the flesh. You simply can't help but love
this guy."
