The Ravelers love playing this summer concert series at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens In Claremont, CA. See their web site: http://www.rsabg.org
Ann Joslyn asks us if we would be interested in performing, and we jumped on the offer to play our "UnRaveled" set of semi-acoustic music! This has become one of our favorite summer concerts for the past 4 or 5 years. These photos are from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin...

Claremont's hometown newspaper...

Claremont is a great place to call, "home".

Before the show setting up, seeing friends.

All the bands that play this concert series love it. Claremont has a great community that comes out for fun on Monday nights.

All of the summer city concerts are a blast!

Great to see such a diverse crowd having fun!

The Ravelers love playing wedding receptions! We consider it a great honor to be asked to provide musical fun on such a special day. Here we are loading on to the Queen Mary, not the easiest part of the day. We had a blast with this fun wedding party...and had the chance to hang with Ray Woodbury, production guru to the stars...

...The Ravelers combined forces with 9-piece R&B band, Reno Jones(www.renojones.com) at the OC Pavilion Performing Arts Theater for a rockin' bluesy show. Both bands opened the Show together for a couple of tunes... The photos were taken by Hannah from the balcony.

Each band played their own set of original songs
and fun tunes from rock n roll history...

The OC Pavilion(www.ocpavilion.com) is a really cool 500-seat theater...10 cameras captured the show and the sound was digitally recorded for the purpose of producing a DVD.
The crowd sings out and Reno Jones horns join in...

Everyone really enjoyed seeing both bands play interesting arrangements of some familiar tunes together...

The sound, lighting, and crowd made for a very fun show to play!

Sometimes one of us can't make it to a show due to unavoidable circumstances.
Pat couldn't make this show, but we decided to do it as a trio since the show was only an hour long.
This was at the Pomona Fairplex for the Family Motor Coach Association.
There was a fun afternoon crowd as they prepared to see all the new RV stuff.
We missed Pat...these photos look a bit empty without him, really. Photos by Bob Beeson

...The Ravelers return to the Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater for the 20th anniversary of The Ravelers!
These photos are from the first set.
We want to thank Michael Ryan for producing this concert series, and Trinity Sound Company for a rockin' sound system!
A huge thank you to Mick Bollinger, General Manager of the Candlelight Pavilion... thank you for your hospitality and your wonderful staff!
The photos were taken by Hannah.

More first set photos by Hannah...
The first set was a combination of original songs with a mix of fun cover tunes.

The audience enjoyed a wonderful dinner before the show, and dessert during the intermission.
The second set was specially constructed for this Raveler show...
even though it looks much like Prof Higgins' living room from the play "My Fair Lady" that was currently playing at the theater.
The Ravelers wanted it to seem like we were in your living room for the night. You have a nice living room!
The second set of music was also a mix of original Raveler songs and fun covers tunes

The highlight of the night was having original Raveler Collie Coburn return for the 20th Anniversary of the band.
It felt like Collie never left, even though it has been 10 years since he moved out of state.
The Ravelers miss his bass playing, voice, personality, and friendship for the "Raveler Hang".

...Tamara shot these photos of the second set.

More shots of Collie...
and photographer Tamara.

...The Ravelers love playing in golf tournaments.
This Dogusta Tournament is in Cathedral City and is to benefit Alzheimer's Disease.
A great group of folks who know how to have a great weekend in the desert!
We almost like the golf as much as playing music at the dinner dance afterwards!
At least 50% of the fun in this band is "The Hang" with the boys.
If you are organizing a tourney, The Ravelers would love to play golf and music!
The photos were taken by Pat

Swing away...uh...FORE!!!

Need some refreshment for the back 9!

Watch out, we are lookin' for our balls...

When your balls are located, sometimes they need washing.
Pay up, Boys...

...The Ravelers back at the Claremont Summer Concert Series.
A traditional Summer Monday night of fun with the community!
The photos were taken by Hannah

We do love this concert series...for the last 16 years.

Rockin' fun!

Always a nice warm night.

The Ravelers consider it a great honor to be asked to perform at a family event.
Weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries are all very special events. The Grant kids invited The Ravelers to play at their parents' 50th wedding anniversary, a golden day indeed!
The happy couple arrived in their all-original 1940 Ford Business Coupe at the newly remodeled Avalon at the Pomona Fairplex.
Family and friends enjoyed the day filled with stories, hugs, great food, and fun music.
We in The Ravelers cannot express enough thanks for being invited to be involved in such a special event!

The Ravelers love playing with great musicians!
Darrin ripped it up with The Ravelers all night at the Temecula concert.
Keep an eye open for this up and coming guitar hero...

...The Ravelers love this patio atmosphere at the Doubletree Claremont Hotel!
This evening we celebrated birthdays for Bob, Tamara, Bonnie, and anniversaries for several.
The photos were taken by Debi, Tamara, and Susan.
Susan takes wonderful photos, and you can contact her at

The Doubletree Claremont is a great place for some Friday fun...

...with friends, family, co-workers.
A great place to meet new friends, too!

Bob was celebrating his 60th b-day his his lovely wife, Sonya.
Many friends also came out for the evening of fun. The Ravelers played Bob's 50th birthday, too!
Bob and Sonya work tirelessly for the City of Claremont by volunteering for many community activities that keep the town entertained!

The food and drinks are the best, and the patio at the Doubletree Claremont is the perfect spot for a Friday summer's eve...

...when the night cools down for a perfect party on the patio!

...The Ravelers were asked back to be the family-fun musical entertainment for Claremont's 4th of July Independence Day Celebration. Great crowd, great sound by Devon and Scott with Trinity Sound Company,
and a wonderful community event!
Photos by Hannah.

Hot day, but it cooled off into
a very nice evening!
We enjoyed ourselves, and it looks like the crowd had fun, too!

The Ravelers were asked back to be the fun musical entertainment for Upland's Pet Adoption Fair that is run by Helping Out Pets Everyday...
http://www.helpingoutpetseveryday.com/
...a local organization that looks after stray pets. Another beautiful day at Upland's Memorial Park!
Thank for having us, Margaret!
The Upland Fire Dept cooked up some grub, Ron Stark, the voice of the Inland Empire was the MC, some cool dogs showed off their stuff, The Upland Police presented Bono, their new police dog, and some got a new home.
Thanks for the photos, Becky Cockrum, reknowned pet photographer...

The Ravelers are proud and happy to be a part of Scripps College tradition since 1991,
playing for the students as they enter Scripps as freshmen, as they celebrate the winter holidays,
and as they graduate in the spring as seniors.

Seventeen classes of Scripps College students have celebrated their time at this great women's college with The Ravelers...we love that!

These are some of the most fun events we play. There always seems to be a photographer who says he will email photos to us to post here... but we have yet to see any photos after 17 years.
Anyone have any photos?

While setting up for this UnRaveled acoustic show at the Doubletree Claremont,
Martie became too ill to play the night. We have all been there!
Luckily, David Jeremiah (keyboards, vocals) and Mark Estupinian (guitar, vocals) were there to help out for a few tunes.

The rain also prevented us from having this out on the patio.
Fun was had by all (except Martie) with the gathering of great friends, food, and drinks. We look forward to going back for an UnRaveled party on the patio in July when the weather will cooperate!
Thanks for the photos, Tamara!

The Ravelers played in front of a Starbucks to a small audience at an outdoor mall in Riverside...lots o' fun as usual!

These two nice ladies (Hannah and Amanda)from San Jose State were great sports, throwin' back what Hai was dishin' out...
There's nothin' better than an audience, large or small, that wants to have some fun! Cell phone photos aren't the best, but these gals were a blast!

Hey...we made it to Inland Empire Magazine, October 2006...in doctor's offices everywhere!

The Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Concert Show in Claremont was what The Ravelers have been yearning to do for years! Photos by Hannah Haerr...

A packed house of enthusiastic folks
enjoyed a fantastic dinner
and an evening of
Raveler original tunes,
meaningful songs,
and music that is just plain fun to play!

Thanks, Devin, for the incredible
sound that Trinity Sound Company
is known for!
http://www.trinitysoundcompany.com

The audience was very generous in letting us know that we should do more concerts like this!

The Candlelight Pavilion is a beautiful theater
for an intimate concert!
Thank you to Michael Ryan http://www.michaelryanmusic.com

Rob gazing at the ocean again across the street from his motel on Moonstone Beach...

Martie at the helm of his "Studio North"...

A bunch of us went shopping in the cool shops of Cambria...

Debi, Leslie, & Hai keeping the economy going...

"Does this smell good to you, Diane?".................

"Hey, this would make a good Raveler shirt..."

"I love the colors...let's get these!"
"Rob...they are $112 each."
"Maybe they'll give us a deal for 4 of them?"
"Put them back, Rob"

"Nice plant, Martie...let's go check out that saloon behind you..."

"Hai...Leslie...I'm not seeing any sun dials..."

"C'mon...these would look cool at the house!"
"Put those things back, Robhaerr...no Pink Flamingos."

Back at the Lodge, Hai's brother Larry sat in on bass, while this fun guy at his family reunion soulfully belted out Mustang Sally...

The crowd was rockin' both nights...

The bartender, Christy, worked her tail off all night
She was working all by herself both nights!

Rob's brother Kenny, bought a round of "Purple Hooters"...

...So we let him sit in, too...

Cambria is a wonderful weekend get-away!
We urge everyone of you to keep an eye on
our schedule for the next cruise up the coast!

You too can have a rockin' backyard party!!!

...But-chya wanna probably invite the neighbor's too...

Debbie B's 50th B-Day bash was a total blast!

Hey...we made the "Jumbotron"!

It was a scorcher of a day over 100 degrees. This is one of the most beautiful minor league ballparks in the country!

Over 6,600 people sold out the stadium, enjoyed the beautiful evening and the fantastic fireworks show!

Rob keepin' it steady...Rob's wife asked an usher to run out to the stage and take this photo...he went beyond the call of duty!

The Downtown Upland Second Street Market is a wonderful place to spend a nice summer Thursday evening.

Martie just bought these shirts. We are calling them the "Flip the Bird" shirts
because they have "Bird of Paradise" flowers on them.
Silly, we know...that's why we do this!

These photos are by Casey Haerr & Jim Mills

Food, Games, Crafts & Raveler fun!

The "Help Out Pets Everyday/Petsmart Adoption Fair" in Upland was a blast! These photos were taken by Becky Cockrum. Visit her website for cool pet photography-http://www.cockrumphoto.com/ Thanks for the photos, Becky!

This day was meant to get some stray pets into some nice homes

The Ravelers were flattered to be asked to bring some musical fun to Upland's Memorial Park

Hai hamming it up with a dancer. He wishes he was little.

Hai blowing away...Martie seems pleased

Martie sings, plays keyboard parts and bass parts all at the same time. We don't know how he does it, either.

Pat looks pleased, great day to smile about!

This grin looks way too suspiscous.

Oh yeah, Hai plays a mean flute, too!

The Ravelers were invited to play the 6th Annual Firefighter's Hot Rods & Harleys show at Pomona Valley Harley-Davidson...

Jim attends many events and takes photos of local talent.

PVHD Marketing Director, Dana, provided a perfect stage for us to still play during some "scattered showers". Thank you for having The Ravelers at your event, Dana!

Hundreds of Harleys braved the weather for a great day.

Here's Pat with his nifty new gig rig amp set-up. Rivera-powered hot rod!

A whole bunch af great hot rods came out, too! Only a few showers had drops beading up on these beauties. This is Hai's neighbor's ride.

Great crowd out to enjoy big kid toys and rock n roll. The Montclair Fire Dept raffled off a Harley Fat Boy for a $10 raffle ticket. The proceeds went to a wonderful cause.

We love to be part of these events!

We were very happy that the rain stayed away for the most part.

The Ravelers were invited to play the Route 66 Rendezvous, the largest cruisin' car show in the country. A 4-day event that has 500,000 people enjoying hot rods, street rods, show cars, and rock n roll! Thanks for these photos, Debbie!

A special thanks to Scott Hofferber, who hired the bands, created 2 great stages with sound systems, amps, and drumsets. He managed 2 stages, 22 bands, and had very nice people on his crew. Scott and crew provided a wonderful hospitality area for all of us fickle musicians to eat, relax, and enjoy the event!

...The Ravelers cruised up to the central coast to play at the Cambria Pines Lodge. A special thanks to Eddie, manager of "The Lodge", for booking The Ravelers!

...Martie has a beautiful swing,

Pat can hit it a mile!...

...The kids in the lower right reminded us of how we watched bands when we were kids. These guys made our night. We are now having older "kids" (many in their 20s) say they used to watch us when they were little...OK, so we're getting older...We are playing music because of the bands we watched as kids. Hopefully some of this stuff rubs off to these kids, too...
