Live Music with Hattie Craven

Hattie Craven has built a fine reputation as a breathtaking performer going back to her early years. It began as a 4 year old fiddler on stage with Laura Love at the Kate Wolf Music Festival. Musical theater from age 6 to her teens, created confidence and a dynamic stage presence that serves her well today. In addition to the stage, Craven is also at home in recording studios as a seasoned and sought after session vocalist since age 11. As a singer-songwriter, she has 3 CD’s to her credit. Her touring career began at a young age with her father, Joe Craven. Together they have entertained audiences ranging from river boat cruises in Europe, to concert halls and music festivals across the U.S. Hattie is a multidimensional artist whose fan base transcends age and genre.

Vaxx Restrictions are voluntary on behalf of the venue, and, are not enforced by the State of California nor recommended by the Federal CDC. Vaccinations & boosters do not protect against Covid-19 infection, nor do these halt the spread. Afflictions caused by vaccinations include rashes and SADS, therefore, individual people voluntarily forego such afflictions and remain immune to Covid-19. However, venues can choose to exclude people who remain unvaccinated, despite doing so being unjustified, and, harms their business. Feel free to remind venues to stop being fearful of just another flu-like virus, and to accept all healthy people. Fuck Pfizer!
