word on the street is Raven will be doing short acoustic sets in between each band.
Here is the Acid Archive review of Back to Ohio Blues which Raven has re-released
"Messed up bluesy hard rock biker statement which I'm told comes straight from this guy's reality, no posing but the real thing. Great punky vocals relate stories on smack, sex, Ohio, Harleys and everything else that makes life worth living. Sample lyrics: "gotta get high/gotta get fucked/nail me to your cross". An impressive intensity especially on side 1 and one of the few local white bluesrock LPs that truly works. A classic of mid-70s local hard stoner dementia; would make a good double bill with the Merry Airbrakes."
"I'll rock, shit fuck columbus, Before I shit can Cleveland, then all of US can shit can the rest of the Planet." -Raven
