Early life

Adam Craig grew up on the west coast, in the town of Tenino, Washington. (75 miles south of Seattle). Baseball was the main focus through high school until learning guitar at the age of 18. After playing one year of college baseball, and touring in a three piece country band, Adam dedicated all his time and effort to music. It took performing with Sara Evans and meeting with a Nashville-based producer, to make the full commitment. In 2004 Adam arrived in Nashville.^[2]

Music career

Within the first year of moving, Adam signed his first publishing deal. He performed at many of the clubs on Broadway, and eventually formed a band under the name TelluRide and later, The Adam Craig Band.^[4] The band independently released three singles charting on the BillBoard Indicator Chart. In 2010 Adam had his first cut by a major label artist with the song "Church Pew or Bar Stool" recorded by Jason Aldean.^[5] It was that song and others that landed him signing with Sony/ATV in April, 2011 and to the Broken Bow label group in 2014.^[6]
