..about Craig
Craig was born in Burgeo, Newfoundland, Canada.
Craig is not only a very talented musician but an accomplished lead and harmony singer.
He began playing guitar at the age of eight..by thirteen he joined his first band, singing and playing Rhythm Guitar ..the next year he was playing Lead Guitar ..at fifteen he was already writing his own songs.
Ray Griff, Merle Haggard and good old Lefty Frizzell were his idols and inspired in him the desire to be good at what he does --and that he certainly is!!
Craig has developed into one of the finest guitar players in Canada.
He plays: Electric Lead and Rhythm, Acoustic and Bass Guitars Mandolin and the Dobro.
Totally dedicated to his music and his audience, Craig pours every ounce of his 6’4” frame and personality into each and every entertaining show.
People just love him!!
....and as fate would have it, Ray Griff, famous Producer and Songwriter from Nashville will now be producing all Craig’s future albums!
We look forward to following Craig’s career,
..a new ‘Canadian Star on the Horizon’
