Biography

It's easy to see why so many great musicians have chosen to record Craig Bickhardt's songs. He's written an unbelievable +/- 900 of them and at least 100+ artists have culled the backlog, including Johnny Cash, Tony Rice, B.B. King, Charlie Louvin, Iain Matthews, Jonathan Edwards, David Wilcox, Wendy Waldman, Ray Charles, Maura O’Connell, Kathy Mattea and The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson & Willie Nelson). As if that weren't enough, on Brother to the Wind, Janis Ian, Tim O'Brien, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, Rusty Young, Darrell Scott, Andy Leftwich, Kenny Vaughn and a clutch of other very fine writers,
players and session people have pitched in to make a great CD really shine.

"Brother to the Wind has the resonance of classic folk-pop, delivered with the easy touch of a master.” - iTunes Staff Review

"Craig Bickhardt has spent a lifetime crafting intelligently lean, but meaningful songs... meticulously shaped, with a keen literary and narrative approach. Most crucially; he is a communicator, capable of touching the heart of his listeners"- John Brindle, Maverick Magazine UK
