Craig Atkins is an award winning Roots, Blue & Folk Multi-Instrumentalist 'Craig Atkins' is a unique 'one-man band' songwriter and performer, originally hailing from Adelaide SA, but now calling the Byron Hinterland home, with his set up consisting of various Guitars, Lap Slide, Didgeridoos, Foot Percussion, Loop & Effect pedals and Harmonica.
With influences such as Paul Kelly, Joe Purdy, Harry Manx and Xavier Rudd to name but a few, Craig's passionate live performances blend dynamics ranging from gentle folk storytelling, to delta slide blues, through to rollicking folk foot tappers and stomping jumping roots to get the floorboards shaking, with lyrical content covering his aspects of life, love and loss and observations of the world we all live in. |
