Craig Stickland is a young singer/songwriter who has recently released his first EP, The Art Of Conviction. Make no mistake, though, this Toronto native is no newcomer to the music scene. Perhaps you’ve heard of a little band called We Are The Take? The band was headed by singer/songwriter Erik Alcock and Craig himself and their album, Naked Now, was produced by Grammy award-winning producer, David Bottril. So Craig is no stranger to the music business; The Art Of Conviction is simply his foray into solo songwriting, and the fruits of this labour are quite impressive. Craig’s songs are contemplative and melodic in nature, enhanced by his honed command of voice. For evidence of this, check out his first music video for the song Fire here.
Want to hear more? Craig will be playing at the Underground venue at the Drake on Tuesday night (July 24). Come out and support a local talent on the rise in the intimate venue while you still can.
