My name is Joe Craig and I'm a singer/songwriter/musician from Northeastern Pennsylvania. I've been around the local music scene for about 20 years playing with such bands as Arion, Phantasm, Silent Whisper, Time to Think and 8 balls minus 2. Now it's time I started a new chapter, as a solo artist.
After years of playing with other bands it would always end up breaking up because of creative or personality differences. It was about 5 years ago that i started fooling around with my own stuff going under the name Jjc. I released 3 cd's on my own under that name but now I feel like Jjc has run it's course so I decided to go by my real name from now on.
My music is comprised of Hard rock, Pop, and New Wave influences like Duran Duran,Robert Palmer, Queensryche, and Dream Theater. I play all the instruments on the songs except drums.
So that's the story about me. If you want to give it a listen, E-mail me and let me know what you think.

Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
Haven't been playing out lately. I've been helping a few friends record but I'll be back out.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's opened it up to a lot of great music. Before you just listened to the radio and all you heard was what was in fashion at the time. Now you click on the PC and you can hear just about anything.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point in time I would rather be independent for awhile.
