John Craigie

A road-tested American folk troubadour with a sharp wit and strong D.I.Y. work ethic, singer/songwriter John Craigie's sound has prompted comparisons to John Prine, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and comedian Mitch Hedberg. Mining personal stories from his countless tours, the Los Angeles native developed an engaging stage presence, blending humorous storytelling with a rustic and soulful Americana songwriting approach. His prodigious output, all released on his own Zabriskie Point imprint, includes studio albums like 2009's Montana Tale and 2017's guest-heavy No Rain, No Rose, which featured artists like the Shook Twins and Gregory Alan Isakov. Craigie's catalog also includes a covers albums, live releases, and the 2024 set, Pagan Church.
