More About Craig-Ellis

I am Craig Ellis and I have had my guitars in my hands for my entire life. Although I have laid down covers by Steely Dan, Sting, and many classic artists, my songs are not only written from my personal experiences, but yours as well. We all share similar passions and fears, joys and sorrows, and many songs written throughout the decades reflect just that. When wrapped in a blanket of cool color chords, infectious rhythm, and a message that is universal; you enter the musical world as I see it. Maybe you will as well. I tend to cross to blues, latin, pop, and ... Thanks for joining with me.

Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

For over 4 decades I've played guitar in many groups that opened for several headliners including Rare Earth, Earth Wind & Fire, Blue Oyster Cult, Arlo Guthrie, Blues Magoos, Vasser Clemons, and dozens of oldies acts from the early sixties. House band gigs enabled up to 5 night a week gigs in venues throughout the Hudson Valley of NY. Many crazy fans and living on the edge many times.

After a near fatal car accident, it took me over 2 years to regain my skills and was blessed with the ability to delight audiences in duod and as a soloist. Today I perform regularly in assisted living facilities and occasional winery performances and my Tuesday night 7p shows on Streetjelly.

Embarrassing Moment

I once played a gig when I was sick and had to take a form of penicillin to fight off the infection. Not aware of any allergic reaction to it, I took the medication an hour or so before a gig. Halfway through the first set, my hands began to itch.....and itch....and itch! I rubbed my hands together like a fly every chance I had. One of the longest nights I can remember.
