Craig Carothers is a songwriter's songwriter. Dry and funny. Romantic. Thought provoking. His songs explore the essential themes: attraction, repulsion, gravity, chemistry, math. He's a writer who worships words. A singer who sells every line... suits, air conditioners, patio furniture, you name it. That's Craig Carothers in a nutshell.

He's shared the stage with a wide variety of acts: Mose Allison, Karla Bonnoff, Jonatha Brooke, Rosanne Cash, Bruce Cockburn, Paula Cole, Robert Cray, Catie Curtis, Crash Test Dummies, Donovan, Peter Himmelman, John Hiatt, Leo Kottke, Patty Larkin, Michael McDonald, Dennis Miller, Anne Murray, Danny O'Keefe, Leroy Parnell, Paula Poundstone, Boz Skaggs, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Richard Thompson, Jethro Tull, Romeo Void, Loudon Wainwright III, Tim Weisberg, David Wilcox, Warren Zevon, and many others.

In 1995, country music star Trisha Yearwood recorded Craigs song Little Hercules. He hung a gold record on the wall and started traveling to Nashville from his home in Oregon on regular basis.

A publishing deal followed, and over the next five years his travels produced new performance opportunities as well. Soon, he had regular gigs in Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, Houston, and Little Rock.

In 2000 he made Nashville his home. Trips back to the west coast started to include stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Phoenix, and Salt Lake.

In recent years Craigs songs have been recorded by artists including: Kathy Matea, Lorraine, Sons Of The Desert, Kate Markowitz, Andrea Zonn, Steve Seskin, Berkley Hart, and Peter, Paul and Mary.
