CRAIG RIGDON
Craig Rigdon grew up in Auburn, Illinois a small Midwest town. Self taught - Craig possessed a passion for all things musical at an early age. As a youth Craig met fellow artist Eric Wood. Now a long time friend, his latest work is featured on this site. Following graduation, and pursuing an interest in flight school Craig relocated to Arizona. Here he discovered a 
passion for recording at a local studio in Phoenix – which provided the backdrop to his first recording. Fast-forward to Indiana; for a full year Craig slept on his brothers futon, worked nights as a stock boy and jammed all day. Back to Arizona; after a year of saving, he put all his dough into recording his first full album. Every detail of the next few years can be summed up in his songs – creating the soundtrack of his life. As the recordings developed Craig saw a need to understand the art of music production and following his brother, he moved to Ohio and enrolled as an audio engineering student. To further challenge his sound education, in 2002 he relocated to Los Angeles. Upon successful completion of his studies Craig was offered a full time position as an instructor of audio engineering. In addition to his work & music career, Craig volunteered his time with a not-for-profit youth center located in South Central Los Angeles. Enter Danny Vins – a guitar player from Chicago. A common appreciation for music, sound & java, they developed a fast friendship built on late night jam session & continue to collaborate today. Craig’s permanent “itchy feet” syndrome lead him from the eastern Caribbean to Alaska where he worked on various cruise lines as a front of house sound engineer. In addition to traveling the globe, this flexible position allowed Craig to focus on developing his own unique sound and pursue his music. Today, with a new love for snowboarding he finds himself exploring the Coastal Mountain Range of beautiful British Colombia in search of the Perfect Powder Day.
