CRAIG BICKHARDT, JESSE TERRY & JILLIAN MATUNDAN
SONGWRITERS IN THE ROUND

CRAIG BICKHARDT is a critically acclaimed, award-winning songwriter whose career has seen him from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, and Nashville. Growing up in a musical family, his music echoes songwriters of the old school like Tom Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, and Eric Anderson. And his virtuosic guitar work interweaves folk, blues, country, and ragtime influences. After traveling as a musician, he wrote and sang songs for the film, Tender Mercies, which earned him a Nashville residency and say his songs recorded by Kathy Matea, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Johnny Cash, the Judds, Tony Rice Judy Collins, and Alison Krauss. His shows are full of absurd anecdotes and personal confessions and he says, "I think people come to my shows to be reminded that there's something profound int he small stuff we experience every day. My goal is to get an audience to look deeper at the things we all take for granted."
