Rock n Roll, Soul, Blues, Alt County, etc.
Original music focused, some classic cover songs.
Alexander Craig knows how to read the room, and connect with an audience. I've personally witnessed him working small intimate shows, as well as festival appearances for 1000s of people. Overall - He makes rocknroll and the blues fun and accessible to everyone, and I personally appreciate that very much. Beyond being an entertainer on the stage he also understands how to manage every aspect of the behind-the-scenes requirements of being a full time musician. In the case of Alex this includes, but is not limited to, Strong original songwriting, immaculate lyrics, great story telling within his lyrics, clever poetic structures, great guitar composition and execution of the playing. Not overly technical, but hugely musical. Also he is known for being a solid producer who knows how to use the recording studio, as well as a video producer that understands cool visual art and branding. I've been following his career for almost 20 years, and will continue to do so.

Full-time artist Alexander Craig has a serious passion for music. Whether leading a six piece band, a trio, performing as a traditional one man band or a solo acoustic artist every show is unique and full of life. His songs are as broad as his character ranging from gut-bucket blues to dance-ready soul, down home boogie to punk inspired rock n' roll plus any style between.
Under his previous alias "Crankshaft" he developed an eclectic and dedicated following. He broke industry norms performing in any type of formal or informal venue imaginable which hints to his ability to connect with all walks of life. This grass roots "take it as it comes, take it as it goes" mindset progressed to sharing stages with legends like John Fogerty, George Thorogood, and ZZ Top.
