Details:
During the past several years, Craig's accomplishments have placed him among Baltimore's most well-known alt-country/Americana musicians. His 2009 CD, Road Trips and Relationships, was well-received locally, nationally, and internationally. Reviews of the CD can be found in Rootstime, an internet music magazine originating in Belgium, and Country Home Magazine, another internet music publication from Germany.

Craig regularly performs in and around the Baltimore area. As a member of the Baltimore Songwriter's Association (BSA), Craig regularly appears at BSA showcases and is a featured performer at many of the BSA's events. Highway to Love, a song from his 2009 release, won honorable mention in the 17th annual Billboard World Song Contest. Highway To Love was also included on the BSA's annual compilation CD, Songs From Our Circle 5.

Craig's songwriting is honest, straightforward, and literate. With influences ranging from Gram Parsons, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle to Neil Young, George Jones, Elvis Costello, and Graham Parker, his songs are often first-person accounts of life's twists and turns, and spot-on depictions of contemporary characters including beautiful women and down-on-their-luck adolescents and adults. While casual listeners might remark about his powerful voice or his rhythmic guitar playing, those more familiar with his work are drawn in by his lyrics - his ability to make the words as important (or more) than any other facet of his performances.

Craig's current release, Whispering Low, represents his unique take on contemporary Country/Americana music. It might best be considered a summer road trip soundtrack. Get behind the wheel, roll the window down, and sing along.

Craigâs music allows listeners to share the experiences of a Baltimore-born singer-songwriter who has never cared to forsake his mid-Atlantic roots for the opportunities that might have been provided by other venues in other places. Nashville and Austin call his name in the night, but Baltimore owns his heart.
