Will Craver: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A guitarist who’s played for 23 years in many genres of bands – I even got to play at the Troubadour in Los Angeles
• A person who can do all my own electronic work for my guitars and has custom wired five guitars 
• A water skier who has been doing it most of my life and still slalom ski at least once a year 
• Someone who grew up on an island right outside of Charleston, South Carolina, called Sullivan’s Island
• A person who’s been shooting skeet and sporting clays competitively for most of my life and has won numerous competitions
• The oldest of three brothers
• A cook – my mom taught us how from a young age. My siblings and I still get together once a year to cook a 10-course meal.
• A music industry veteran who has been working in the field since I was 18. I’ve been a booking agent, done in-concert promotions and venue operations, and helped land developers looking to build concert venues.
• A person who has lived and worked in the music industry in Charleston; Columbus; Nashville; Athens, Georgia; and Los Angeles.
• Someone who worked in two startup restaurants for the same general manager on Sullivan’s Island in high school and right after college: Poe’s Tavern and Home Team BBQ
