Overview
I would describe my show as professional, fun and interactive Country Band with a diverse list of covers and originals. I also can do a variety of Rock if required depending on the event. The band typically books as a 5piece consisting of drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, acoustic guitar and 3 vocals. I can scale the band down for smaller or events depending on the client/event. I can add instrumentation such as fiddle/steel if that is required. I only hire the best of the best players that have great attitudes and are easy to work with. No bad seeds or pre-madonnas in this group!

About
Craig Moritz is a rarity these days. He is a country boy at heart, a what you see is what you get kind of a guy who happens to write and sing some pretty good country music.
Craig is a native of Medicine Hat Alberta, but also has spent the better part of his life in Fort McMurray and now hails from the Calgary area.
Moritz is Alberta through and through. After growing up and working jobs from retail to oilfield, he knew he had yet to find his true path. Craig got hooked on the idea of becoming a country music artist after meeting Toby Keith and having a down to earth, "real" conversation about the music industry with him. Since then Craig has been inspired and motivated, working on a steady path towards his career as a country music artist and songwriter.
After cutting his teeth and gaining invaluable experience owning the road on the honky tonk circuit from the hard scrabble town of Fort McMurray in Canada's tough and vast northern oil sands, to racking up the miles in every direction through western Canada and beyond, Craig has become a bona fide national star. Most recently Craig is gearing up for his major US Radio release on SuperGroup records in 2016!
An avid animal lover and advocate, Craig is the celebrity spokesperson for Cats and Dogs International (CANDi), has five dogs (Gizmo, Stella, Kramer, Isla, Cali), and recently added a horse to his pet family (Kruze).
