GREENBRIAR is a Wichita-based Trad band featuring musicians Shawn Craver (fiddle), Joshua Luper (guitar), and Luke Craver (clawhammer banjo). Together they explore the rich traditions of Appalachian folk music, old-time fiddle tunes, Celtic melodies, and American roots music through cutting-edge arrangements that defy genre.
Shawn and Josh first gained regional recognition as members of Raging Sea, performing throughout the Midwest and appearing at the North Texas Irish Festival alongside internationally acclaimed groups Altan and Dervish. Since then, they have continued to perform at festivals and cultural events across the region, including Lovegrass, Wichita Forever Fest, and the Kansas State Fiddle Championships.
Shawn also serves as a Kansas Touring Artist, presenting traditional American music statewide. Whether in concert halls, festivals, or intimate venues, Greenbriar delivers spirited performances that honor tradition while bringing fresh energy to timeless music.
