Originated from "caravan" in the 1840's in famine times in Ireland, to get out of the country. This was shortened to garvan by these travellers or "knackers" to name their children when caravans went out of fashion.

Get the garvan mug.An indie/delta-blues/folk duo from San Fransisco named after a story by James Joyce. Adam Stevens (bass, melody, harmony on guitar simultaneously) and Tyson Vogel (drums) incorporate blues style finger picking and melodic drumming in their songs about murder, theft, the old west, and Antebellum (pre-war) South. The songs are beautifully written and the lyrics are like poetry.
I saw Two Gallants at the Grog Shop and had a blast despite the fact the show started later than it should have.
