Craig Carothers
July 31st at 7 pm, Thursday — $12 advance/ $15 at the door
" Prepare to have your heart stopped. Craig Carothers weaves an incredibly grounded but buoyant, airborne sound of sonic but rootsy poprock, rich with his somewhat smoky and coarse, yet full-bodied vocals. He has one of those voices that fills up a room, not in volume necessarily but in the heart and substance behind the voice- one of those voices that puts up no veils to the emotion and, combined with his both sensitive and solid musical style, reveals the texture and landscape of his heart. Definitely an album that will grab hold of you and take you for a spin around the neighborhood." — Tamara Turner, CD Baby
" Craig has an incredible gift for poetic imagery and his melodies range from exuberant to sorrowful in this CD. The lyrics are achingly beautiful and are truly slices of life. This CD is insightful. He's folk, pop, blues, and rock artist all rolled into one. It's hard to categorize this music as it's so diverse. He's a superb songwriter. Every song takes you somewhere else, out of yourself. Creative, fantastic lyrics and melodies abound here" — Glory A. Rogers
“ … smart, memorable material put across with abundant personality… ” —Birmingham News. “… the right mix of weary-eyed cynicism and helpless hearted romanticism… ” —Performing Songwriter Magazine.
Tickets will be available in advance at Waucoma Books, 212 Oak Street, Hood River, OR 97031, for $12;
