Craig Bickhardt’s original songs have been recorded by a vanguard of music luminaries, including Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Janis Ian, Poco, and Kathy Mattea. As a seasoned performer, he has graced the stages of the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Nashville's famed Bluebird Cafe, the long-running radio series Mountain Stage, and iconic television shows Austin City Limits, PBS’s Songs at the Center, and the Grand Ole Opry. His music and vocals also helped shape the score for the Academy Award-winning film Tender Mercies, starring Robert Duvall. Sharing his musical legacy, Craig’s daughter, Aislinn, first joined him on stage at age 15 and has since lent her talents to all nine of his albums. She has captured a devoted legion of fans with her ethereal voice and delicately nuanced harmonies. Together, their velvety family blend evokes the striking chemistry of Grammy-winning duo The Civil Wars and '60s folk icons Ian & Sylvia.
