Response from Craig Thompson Project:
Thank you for having us Rich. We had a great time.
My husband and I found Craig through one of many online searches for live music for our wedding. We fell in love with with his energy and drove from Tampa to Orlando to meet him and see his band play a gig at a local bar/venue. We hired Craig to MC our wedding and 4 pcs band for reception. He exceeded our expectations! Perfect combination of polished professionalism, with an easy going/but high energy vibe that kept everyone at ease and engaged all night. The music was on point and the dance floor was the place to be!
Planning was stress free with a few emails and phone calls, Craig asked all the right questions to understand our vision and execute flawlessly, he knew to ask things we didn’t think of. He told us he had learned one of our Favorite songs, which we were very excited about, and then surprised us by in fact learning and performing multiple songs from our favorites list! The night could not have been more perfect! I am still getting texts and calls a week after our wedding night about how perfect the night and band were!!!
We could not be more grateful to have found Craig and his band. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars and could not recommend more highly!
Response from Craig Thompson Project:
It was a pleasure to be a part of you wedding day. We had a lot of fun. Wishing you many years of success and happiness in you marriage. Thank you!!
Craig and his drummer played at Disney Springs and the whole crowd was in awe! Everyone was dancing and enjoying the music!! You made our night! Best duo out there!
Response from Craig Thompson Project:
Thank you so much!
Craig was awesome! He really made our party special. He is a gifted musician with a flair for bringing a party to life! Can't wait to have him back for the next party!
Craig performed for our corporate event and did an amazing job. He played guitar, keyboard, and sang every kind of music under the sun! He and the drummer took tons of requests and had everybody dancing by the end - sounded like a whole band playing with just two guys. We will definitely call Craig when we need to hire musicians in the future!
I have hired Craig to perform as a solo musician and with a full band - the level of musicianship, passion, and sheer energy of the performance is second to none! This is a great guy who loves what he does and works with the best musicians around. Highly recommended for any live music needs!

His passion is immediately felt with each and every song he performs. With a wide range of genres ranging from Elton John to Coldplay, Bob Marley, Kings Of Leon, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Van Morrison, Drake, Fugees etc... The list goes on and on and he has the uncanny ability to make every song sound just as good and a lot of times better than the original artist. You can catch Craig at Liam Fitzpatrick's in Lake Mary/ Heathrow every Sunday afternoon 5-8pm one of the number of venues. Since his arrival in07 Craig has come a far way and has a very bright future in music. He is currently in studio working on the release of his fist Album.
With his training in theater and muscials, Craig knows and has what it takes to put on a full scale production, concert style or a backyard BBQ Bday Party with state of the art sound and lighting to set the tone of your event. For most shows Craig plays the piano/keyboard and guitar simultaneously creating an interactive studio like environment, creating beats to accompany him all done in a live setting. You get to see the magic happen right there on spot.
