CRAIG SCHMIDT
Vocals, Lead Guitar
Craig is a classically trained guitarist who honed his craft performing in the bars and ski resorts of Colorado in the late '70's & early 80's. More recently, he has been a member of a number of popular San Diego-based bands including the longrunning country band Emerald River, opening for national recording artists, such as Leann Rimes and Texas legend Pat Green.
