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 that they probably
couldn't pronounce the name even
if they had, 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"
