John Cragie in concert

I recently had the pleasure of seeing John Cragie play a show in Minneapolis. John’s music has a mellow vibe and clever lyrics. You will enjoy listening to his tunes as you chill sometime, but to truly appreciate him you must see him play live.

A John Craggie show is not just a concert, but a mix of storytelling and standup comedy. He is very funny his stories reflect the creative mind behind his music. Highly recommended.

His dad went to school with Buzz Aldrin and he also met Neil Armstrong, but his favorite astronaut is Michael Collins.

There are two full New Duncan Imperials shows, both of which are excellent recordings.  I found a Wilco show as well.  Fun to search and see what you can find.

New Album in process, would like your ears along the way

 Greetings, like many passable artists such as the Indigo Girls, T Swift, Dave Davies (I just put that in there for Dave), Margaret Glassy etc. the meat is the song itself, not the arrangement. So I am working on honing my songwriting and am making acoustic demos, unembellished, to see if they can stand on their own. These songs will be arranged for the band eventually. 

So, come along for the ride, I am going to publish works in progress on this blog, feel free to comment and enjoy :) 

Recorded today: Every time
