John Craigie has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances. Infusing humor, wit, and poignant storytelling, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. Whether he's headlining solo or sharing the stage with longtime collaborators, Craigie’s ability to make his crowd laugh, reflect, and connect is second to none. As he prepares to release Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live - No Hits, his latest live album captures the warmth and spontaneity of these memorable nights.
At this point, there have been quite a few good shows in the rearview…
As a tried-and-true performer, he has regularly sold out solo tours in addition to hitting the road with the likes of Langhorne Slim, Brett Dennen, Mason Jennings, Bella White and Jack Johnson. He has picked up fans with sets at Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon, Edmonton Folk Festival, and High Sierra Music Festival. Including numerous European tours and his first Australian tour in spring of 2024 Moreover, his annual river trip on the Tuolumne River—just outside of Yosemite in California—has remained a hit with his audience, hosting one sellout after another. Giving back as much as possible, he notably launched the #KeepItWarm Tour during the holidays. By donating $1 from every ticket sale, this headline run has raised money for regional non-profits with the goal of fighting food insecurity. An avowed Beatles acolyte, he has performed acoustic renditions of the albums Abbey Road and Let It Be live in front of packed crowds and partnered with Record Store Day for limited-edition vinyl releases of those concerts..
Southwestern Colorado based artist Dana Ariel's atmospheric vocals, folk guitar, and captivating storytelling demonstrate the young artists passion, capability, and gratitude to share her music with her audience. Although just one voice and one guitar, she brings an eclectic sound with her original songs; “Josephine” has an old-school soul feel; “Midnight Sun” has a festival-folk feel; and the title track to her debut album Wild Woman has both 21st century indie rock guts among a Motown vibe” (Bryant Liggett, the Durango Herald 2022). Ariel aspires to provide songs to help humans come together and connect over the magic and tragic of life. She spends her days either writing her next album 'Bloom' (set to release in 2025) or galavanting throughout the world and cannot wait for more musical experiences.
