8:00 - 10:00, Half Moon: Craig Bickhardt
Solo guitar and vocals - http://www.craigbickhardt.com/
When Craig Bickhardt steps onto a concert stage, he comes with an acoustic guitar & the stories of a lifetime, vividly translated into words & melody. “I start a lot of songs because I feel conflicted,” he explains. “I may begin from a point of darkness, but I usually end up writing towards the light because, for me, hope is the thing worth singing about. The characters in the stories I sing aren’t heroic; they’re very ordinary. But they’re reaching for something beyond themselves & I find nobility in that.” His songs have been recorded by such legends as Ray Charles, B.B. King, Johnny Cash, the Judds, Tony Rice & Alison Krauss.
A Craig Bickhardt concert is a mix of absurd anecdotes & personal confessions, accompanying a well-stocked bag of original tunes & the occasional choice cover. “I think people come to my shows to be reminded that there’s something profound in the small stuff we experience every day,”
Come let Craig remind you.
