Craig Scott – this Florida native, who makes Chicago his home, is one show stopping singer, songwriter, and musician whose passion is infectious. Once one plays Craig’s music it is something original from start to finish. A blend of rock and jazz infused to his sound and song delivery. It is felt through the bones that Craig truly lives and breathes his first love which is the gift of song.
Craig’s EP entitled; “Push & Pull” allowed all listeners to hear that this singer is here to stay for the long haul. The heartfelt lyrics and the music hark back to when an artist truly poured his everything into a release. Not just a handful of singles and others fillers but for Craig it is not releasing music unless they are all quality and never a filler which is not in his vocabulary to let himself and fans down.
The 2nd studio album from Craig is entitled; “A Story of Believers” (EP) to be released this year. Craig truly shines in his originally penned tracks where his voice soars and is within the story he is telling. It is amazing though this singer can also play both the guitar and saxophone and just like his vocals is brilliant. This year will be yet another wondrous year for Craig where he is on the road touring at a constant with so much more music for us the fans to be hearing.
As Craig prepares to release his second EP, he stands at a crossroads: looking back down the long road he’s paved to get to this point, and looking ahead to the promise of where that path will now take him. Craig's vocal talent is diverse, magical and captivating! He is blessed with a rich, weathered soprano voice and a soaring falsetto--vocals, so unique with a range that takes you to the depths of his passion.
The new originals songs will take you to a place where your mind begins to create visuals of your own life as the stories unfold.
Craig wants you to know...
"I've found that through the years, I just listen to what's going on around me. And it's in those moments, when I do just listen, the story begins.
"Everything I sing has a personal meaning. I used to somewhat internalize things and the songs on this record are still are my way of working things out of my system - actually speaking up about what I believe in, what I think about myself, and what I think about the world around me. I've always found my words and music come out a lot easier when I've actually had some level of experience in whatever it is I’m singing about." “I've always wanted to bring others along on this ride with me--feel that with me—feel the power of music! And it is my passion, my dream that these songs I have written will send you on an amazing journey."
I am focused to delivering a dynamic selection of songs and you can expect me to change it up and deliver even a jazz ballad in my sets. I really envy that kind of diversity in my musical heroes—and it is my intention to bring that same vibe with each performance."
Craig has grown into an artist with an exceptional ability to connect to listeners and live audiences in a way that few singer-songwriters can. Like many young musicians before him, Craig grew up with music all around him, but discovered in music a means to communicate with the world at large. Craig's combination of heart, soul, strong sense of melody, has resulted in writing songs that promise great times, and delivers a great experience, for once and future fans of this 21st century troubadour.
With his new EP, Craig excels as an artist with a collection of songs that are emotionally mature and honest, musically sophisticated, and diverse in range, yet consistent in tone and quality.
Craig has already started releasing this recording the first of the five new songs—Half Heartedly now available. The second original single will be released in early July, 2016 – with a full EP available for the Holidays.
