Craig has engaged and inspired two generations of pop music fans, first as a founding member,  lead guitarist, and a prolific principle song writer for the multi-platinum Jefferson Starship/ Starship  - '70s, '80s, '90. While others came and went Craig is the only person in the band to appear on EVERY recording, tour, MTV video, album, CD, and hit song during that time.

With 20 Gold records combined between Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship, Craig was instrumental in making that combination one of the most successful bands in history.

In the 1990s,  after finding himself at the top of the national charts in each of 3 consecutive decades with his first band, Craig left the fast-paced pop world and reinvented himself as an award winning, #1, GRAMMY nominated,  million selling solo artist,  songwriter, producer, and band leader, #1 in Billboard for his CDs and songs, GuitarPlayer Magazine Readers' Poll Winner for Best Pop Instrumental Guitarist,   Jazz Iz Magazine list of Top 100 Most Influential Guitarists of All Time,  again at the top of the national charts in a fourth decade and a new millennium with #1 Cafe Carnival, #1 Luminosa,  and now a fifth decade with Songbird in the Top 3  in Billboard and Smooth Jazz Radio. 

As Craig likes to say,  "....probably the most famous guitarist that nobody has ever heard of and can't pronounce the name even if they did,  but everybody still hears on the radio after being at the top of the charts for 5 consecutive decades now, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s.  Nobody is more surprised than I am about that or more grateful"
