Craig Paddock is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who was born and raised in America’s most musically historical city, New Orleans, Louisiana. But in a city where learning how to play an instrument takes precedence over learning how to ride a bike, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish oneself as a musician, especially if you play a genre other than jazz. Despite the odds, Craig Paddock has been able to hone his undeniably soulful voice and songwriting style to do just that.

 

Talented indie singer/songwriter Craig Paddock speaks to us about love and the ups and downs that come with it in his must listen gem “Old and Grey”. He understands that wanting to grow old with someone means really putting all you’ve got on the line and really showing the full extent of who you are. He speaks to us in a clear and upfront manner that really feels inviting and refreshing to find in the music scene of today. His soundscape feels classic yet also delivers the right amount of contemporary melodies and verses that could make it an instant classic. So enter the world the visuals and melodies have created and really fall in love once again. Enjoy!

Wolf In A Suit

Don’t expect this New Orleans-born singer-songwriter’s first CD release to be just guitar and vocals. With a vocal style reminiscent of John Boutte and a band that includes the warmth of a B3 organ, these well-crafted soulful/gospel songs are very melodic and compelling.
