Craig Small

Guitar and vocals

Craig grew up moving back and forth between LA and Denver as his father worked in the Aerospace industry. His music career began with the standard piano training, quickly moving onto the Sax.  In college, he took up the guitar because ‘chicks dug it” at the University of Colorado. But the guitar has taken a back seat to raising children - now that they have all escaped to college, he has dusted it off and is seriously pursuing it again.  His musical influences were Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and lately, Lyle Lovett and the Bare Naked Ladies.  He played rhythm guitar and sang vocals for the Traveling Wannabes and the Heimlich Maneuvers before joining Gordon in JudgementDay.  Craig is intent on keeping his IT day job and singing in the shower while he slowly turns his basement into a music studio without his wife catching on. He loves his wife and children, and Mexican food. He is also creating a comic strip titled “Disposable Income, a garage band” about his experiences in garage bands.  He has recently decided to move he and his wife back to California, near Sacramento.  This is related to his IT day job.  Of course he will be flying in for JudgementDay recording sessions.
