Krissy! Thanks for the thumbs up! It's always a highlight to be up there with your group. See you soon....
I’ve seen Craig play at a couple venues a few times. He’s extremely talented and very engaging with his audience. I hired him for a private event and my party was very impressed with his variety of music and interaction with us. Can’t wait to see him again!

Hey Bob! It was great seeing you and thanks for the great and kind words.
Hosted a neighborhood music night where Craig was super easy to coordinate with, professional, and very cool! You could tell immediately this was his passion, played for 3hrs and took music requests. It truly made the evening great and everyone loved the event. Would absolutely recommend!

Response from Craig Gleason:
Lisa! Thanks so much and I’m sure I’ll see you again.😎
I first heard Craig Gleason in 2018 when he was playing at Brickmont Assisted Living in Alpharetta for the Mother’s Day Brunch. I cannot begin to tell you the joy he brought to my late mother and all the residents. I hadn’t seen any responses from her that day until she heard Craig begin to sing. First tapping on the table with a finger then smiling and even mouthing some of the words. What a special day. After he finished I asked him about what other kinds of music he played and he gave me his card. I first hired him in June 2019 to play for our community summer kickoff around the pool. Everyone loved him as our community spans multiple age groups and he had tunes for everyone. I believe we had him come back a second time that summer for our Luau. My community has had Craig come entertain us at least once a year for a social event. We love him, he can sing just about anything!

You brought tears to my eyes! Thank you Karen. It's a wonderful group out there and always a good reunion with lots of Jimmy Buffett!

What to Expect
After being in the music business since I hit the road at 17 I've learned from the best how to be the best for my clients.
You can expect:
1) Communication and detail from our first conversation to that final song!
2) A very long list of songs from all genres including Pop, Country, Reggae/Island, Jazz, Instrumental only, R&B, Blues, Folk, you name it....I have it.
3) An appropriate volume and not being too loud is right up there at the top too!
4) My sound system is the finest in the business. QSC is widely known as the premium sound.
Also....my guitars are handmade and come from Australia by way of Nashville, the same guitar that Peter Frampton, Keith Urban and many others use on their live stage. I spare no expense purchasing the most reliable and best sounding gear. It makes a difference.
5) Me to be "reading the crowd" knowing what songs to play by seeing who is there and listening to requests.
6) Lastly expect me to live up to my reputation as a punctual and crowd pleasing professional who does it for the love of music and the love of making people smile!

Additional Booking Notes
A) I require a minimum 8x8 ft space.
I use the best sound systems available in QSC and Allen and Heath (England) so my sound at soft volume sounds the same quality as high volume. I was a record producer and songwriter and have spent thousands of hours in the studio working on sound and have taught classes to sound engineers for "live sound" production.
B) Stage area needs to be within 15ft of electrical power. One outlet is sufficient.
C) If event is outside then cover for sun/rain is mandatory.
