“Since 2016, Tom Craig has entertained lovers of Blues and Roots music with his original songs through both his live performances and two critically acclaimed releases. Tom’s third project set for release on July 20, 2024 is his best yet, showcasing his maturity and growth as a songwriter as well as his strength as a guitarist and vocalist. These 12 tight arrangements, produced by veteran bluesman Mikey Junior, feature performances from a cadre of superb musicians captured by the exquisite recording skills of Grammy nominated engineer, Dave Gross. Don’t be surprised that once you start listening to ‘Get to Work’, you listen all the way through to the end and then find yourself humming these tunes as the day goes along. ”
Craig has a wealth of life experience and he shares it here on “Get To Work”, his third all original release, he continues to evolve as a blues-based singer-songwriter. The results are here…modern blues music includes a lot of joy and sometimes, a little bit of pain.

"It's always exciting to see and hear that special spark of soulful originality in a musician. I first met Tom Craig in Philadelphia at the Twisted Tail Sunday Blues Jam. He plugged in and quickly kicked off some compelling original blues that I found inspiring. We talked and immediately became friends. Working with everyone involved in this project was an immense pleasure and we hope you find Tom's blues inspiring."
