Raised in the rust belt of America, where Appalachia meets industry, Jared Craig is a born
musical craftsman. From small town garage bands to performing as a professional bassist
travelling the world, it wasn’t until he began writing songs that he found an ability to connect
with people. Coming from a tough blue collar family, following an artistic path was a challenge.
But, whether one is a mechanic, a machinist or a musician, attention to detail and a strong work
ethic are common threads. Combining easy melodies with reflections on life, character
sketches, and short stories, Jared’s music is Americana. Skillfully blending sounds from rock and
country, folk to blues, the songs represent a life devoted to craft and the pursuit of human
connection.
