After finding success performing at increasingly larger venues, Craig left his job of many years,
and with the support of his wife, they relocated to Northeast Alabama, and Craig began living his dream.
Craig recorded his first Single with Kimo Forrest which resulted in Radio Airplay and over 12 weeks at #1 on Indie and UK Charts. Then just after six months in Nashville, Craig landed a Publishing deal and his Debut EP "Destination Home", was recorded with Art Ward (Century Music Group).
Craig Hendricks may be from a small town, but he is making big waves in Independent Country Music. Over the last few years, Craig has managed to achieve recognition and success, having multiple nominations and awards for songwriting, vocal work, and performance, from numerous Music Associations. His original music and retro country style have been well received as his national tours have taken him from Florida, to Maine, to Alaska and just about everywhere in between.
Craig has also worked to bring new music to his fans. His latest album, “Travelin' Kind of Man”, produced by Beverly Gosdin Jenkins (BGJ), was released on May 20th, 2025, to radio and all streaming platforms AND vinyl. Craig promoted his Album with a brief tour in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, followed by his 2025 New England Tour. This tour included performances for Veterans and seniors, in addition to the scheduled music venues. The Tour was briefly “interrupted” by a side trip to Ohio, where Craig opened for the Band, Ricochet.
Craig continues to work on new music and projects including a Country Christian Album, joining forces with friends and hit writers for new songs, intimate listening room tours, and other events for 2026. He will be presenting songwriter's workshops on his tours, as he did in 2025.
