About Me

After hearing Craig at the 2007 Lancaster Festival, LIVINGSTON TAYLOR called Craig's voice "so rich, powerful, and compelling". THE SOUND MUSIC REVIEW had this to say, "Craig's sound is so unique: soulful and contemplative, his music envelopes the listener with emotion and leaves one to think after each performance."Craig has lived near Columbus, Ohio since 1997 after being raised in Appalachia, in the heart of the mountains of West Virginia. There he honed his musical skills and style by listening to artists from those mountains. Southern Gospel, bluegrass, and folk were later fused with James Taylor and Bruce Hornsby as major influences on his music.Today, his songs have won respect and awards across the country for communicating honest emotions with clear, soulful vocals and understated, subtle arrangements. Wherever he plays, people stop and listen. So effective in true listening venues, his fans have come to expect a night of relaxation with music that smooths the rough emotional edges that life accumulates.His music is available on iTunes as well as direct mail by messaging Craig right here on MySpace.Craig is available for festivals, coffee houses, house concerts, and any other venue.
