When Craig Bickhardt steps onto a concert stage, he comes with his acoustic guitar and thestories of a lifetime, vividly translated into words and melody.
“I start a lot of songs because I feel conflicted,” he explains. “I may begin from a point of darkness, but I usually end up writing towards the light because, for me, hope is the thing worth singing about. The characters in the stories I sing aren’t heroic; they’re very ordinary. But they’re reaching for something beyond themselves, and I find nobility in that.” His songs have been recorded by such legends as Ray Charles, B.B. King, Johnny Cash, the Judds, Tony Rice and Alison Krauss.
A Craig Bickhardt concert is a mix of absurd anecdotes and personal confessions, accompanying a well-stocked bag of original tunes and the occasional choice cover. “I think people come to my shows to be reminded that there’s something profound in the small stuff we experience every day,”
Come let Craig remind you.
