Craig Ventresco's Website

"San Francisco - based acoustic guitarist Craig Ventresco makes his way where almost everyone else fears to tread nowadays--reviving forgotten vaudeville and pop tunes from the early years of the 20th Century."

"Guitarist Craig Ventresco may be one of the best ragtime pickers alive today. Ventresco's ability to perform rags by Big Bill Broonzy, Eubie Blake, and Scott Joplin is awe-inspiring; his dense arrangements sound impossibly difficult to play, but they are a sheer pleasure to hear. It may be sacrilegious to admit, but Ventresco's technical ability is right up there with Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Blake--the only things missing are the pops and hisses of the 78s."
