Introducing Craig Brauns: A Musical Force to be Reckoned With
When the legendary Island Records Chris Blackwell first laid ears on Craig Brauns’ electrifying vocals emanating from a CD, he was taken aback. The raw power and emotional depth in his voice led Blackwell to believe he was listening to a female vocalist, a captivating Janis Joplin-esque folkie showcasing her incredible vocal range.
Yet, there’s more to Craig Brauns than meets the eye. Infusing classic English rock influences reminiscent of Jagger, Bowie, Plant, and delivered with the naturalness of Ray Davies, he defied expectations. This was no Joplin; this was a singer with an unmistakable trademark drawl, uniquely his own.
Craig Brauns possesses a voice that captivates with every note, exhibiting a vocal range that navigates effortlessly between searing rock and roll anthems, foot-stomping serenades, and heart-wrenching ballads that touch the depths of the soul. But it doesn’t end there.
Having honed his craft in the vibrant music scene of Camden Town’s legendary bars and clubs, Brauns brings a fresh perspective to the table. Drawing upon the rich tapestry of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest influences, he infuses his performances with a renewed energy and passion that sets him apart.
