<p>John Craig</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you ask John Craig which part of his life was the most influential, he would tell you it was everything up to today.&nbsp; He taught himself how to play their songs, note for note. He was nicknamed, &lsquo;The Bicentennial Man&rsquo; because of the year he started playing (late &lsquo;70s).&nbsp; He began playing in basement garage bands.&nbsp;&nbsp; Later on John played in numerous bands until the Navy came calling and whisked him away for 3 years.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Upon his return in 1990, he began collecting equipment such as amplifiers, processors mixers, guitars, etc&hellip;He started going to studios to record, joining bands that never worked out or when life got in the way.&nbsp; He went on auditions in Hollywood in 2004 and 2005 while still working on his own songs.&nbsp; He solicited some help from a songwriter at that time and still has those songs in his possession.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In 2006 John experienced the loss of two mothers and one sister.&nbsp; He put his emotions and thoughts into a new CD titled, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s A Dark Rif&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>His lead single is, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s A Dark Rif<em>&rdquo;.&nbsp; &ldquo;This song relates to Nostradamus&rsquo; theme to real life situations, dreams I have encountered, events in the past (large scale) and the predictions that lay ahead.&nbsp; The song relates by attempting to make us realize that tomorrow is a new day, but we must act in the name of peace in order to accomplish it.&nbsp; It also settles the mood, in a sense that we need to slow down and concentrate on making correct decisions in and out of the household for a better tomorrow.&rdquo;</em>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This entire CD is written as a novel would be. &nbsp;Each track has a progression to it &ndash; a story to tell.&nbsp; It is written with emotion, intelligence and also has a few dark undertones.&nbsp; It is loosely based on the Nostradamus theories of predicting future events.&nbsp; You can hear a sprinkle of groups that have influenced him such as Led Zepplin, Rush and Jethro Tull.&nbsp; Yet, he is true to his music with the ability to bring his story to the ears and souls of many.&nbsp; Bravo for his successful transformation a musical expression that I haven&rsquo;t heard since The Magical Mystery Tour album by the Beatles.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>John Craig&rsquo;s songs are available for purchase at most i-stores along with the following websites:</p> <p><a class="url" style="text-decoration: none; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: normal; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: #0066cc; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://www.myspace.com/johncraigfanpage">myspace.com/johncraigfanpage</a></p><p>http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-Craig-Music/169896763509?ref=ts#/pages/John-Craig-Music/169896763509?v=info&amp;ref=ts</p> <p><a href="http://www.promofm.com/John_Craig">www.promofm.com/John_Cra</a>ig</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For additional information, please contact his PR firm:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A &amp; R Select</p> <p>West Hollywood, Ca.</p> <p>323-924-5897</p> <p><a href="http://www.arselect.com/">www.arselect.com</a></p> <p><a href="mailto:JohnCraig433@arselect.ning.com">JohnCraig433@arselect.ning.com</a></p>
