Sounds Like: "Each of [Wirebird's] 12 tracks
would fit perfectly beneath Zach
Braff's banter in any episode of
Scrubs. The Innocence of Craig's
songwriting and the seasoned
scratch of his voice form a
timeless album."
Marquee Magazine
"Craig weaves romanticism and
realism in a harmonious dance in
the songs. One listen to Wirebird
can convince even the toughest
and pickiest indie music fan that
what was medicine's loss is
music's must-listen find."
Indie Music Stop
"Craig sounds like Damien Rice
and Cameron McGill combined,
with his own uniqueness and
originality making it all rise above
the rest. Craig's voice is
soothingly scratchy, comforting
and worn like that old pair of
shoes you wear so well."
PLAYBACK:stl
"Craig's arrangements are smart,
spacious. Laced with a vulnerable
desperation, Craig's musical
production coupled with his
ambition, kindness and bravery
has won him a spot among
Denver's top songwriters."
Denver Syntax
"Craig's songs are simple yet
refined in all the right ways.
Effortlessly, they are disarmingly
sincere without sounding contrived
or forced."
