About Me

Koozito is insomnia driven music from the imagination and experiences of San Francisco musician Craig Koozer. The songs vary in genre and approach.

The live performance incarnation of Koozito varies. Sometimes solo, sometimes with a band. Often friends sit in on specific songs. If you are looking to fill out a night give us a holler.

Koozer elsewhere includes:
Skiploader - Sprainy (Schitzophonic records, 1994) bass guitar
Skiploader - Anxious, Restless (Geffen, 1995) bass guitar
Skiploader - from can through string (Geffen, 1996) bass guitar
Contraption - Defense Mechanism (single, Laundry Room Records 1997) bass guitar
The Miss - (self titled, self released demo 1999) bass guitar
Shackleton - (demo unreleased 1999) bass guitar
Vetiver - self-titled (diChristina, 2004) - guest, upright bass on Amour Fou
