Please find a friend, Have a drink and go home.
Take them into your heart,
Tell them how much you need them.
Go to bed and goodnight, go home.
Craig Cardiff is a Canadian folk musician from Waterloo, Ontario. Last week I saw him perform in Kingston and was presently surprised by how wonderful he was.
Everyone at the show crowded around the stage with pints of beer in hand, and some people chose to sit on the floor creating the cozy atmosphere encouraged by Craig. Craig prefers an intimate show and asked everyone to be silent and turn off their cell phones. When he started to play, his beautifully melodic sound had the crowd's unwavering attention. Craig's music is simple, honest and genuine. His performances are full of emotion and he holds nothing back as he sings about love, loss, the questions around religion and its impact on the day-to-day. His songs will break your heart and then pull it back together.
Craig's mature, polished performances are a clear result of ten years of touring and producing his own music which includes 12 albums. With only an acoustic guitar and loop peddles, I was surprised by how captivating Craig was on stage. I was also overjoyed about his invitation to sit on stage when we discovered there wasn't much room left on the floor. If Craig comes back for another show I will definitely be in the crowd and I think you should be too.
