Craig’s Quote:
“Back in 1996, I was taking a night class, Piano I, at Suffolk Community College. After class one night, a friend and I hung out in my old Cutlass, just talking, and listening to the radio. We were talking and singing to every song that came on. Ants Marching came on, and I was singing along. That was the first time that anybody has ever told me that I sound like Dave Matthews. Now, for the record, I don't think that I sound like Dave Matthews. I try my best to emulate and capture his vocal style and timbre, but do I sound like Dave? I don't think so. In any event, it was at that moment in 1996 that I thought it would be cool to sing in a DMB tribute.”
