Local Dad Rocker

A Memoir of Self-Discovery from Songwriting

De: Brian Craig

Narrado por: Brian Craig

A singer, songwriter, storyteller, and live-music enthusiast opens up about his past, his songs, local music bands, and the balancing act of being a musician while building a career and starting a family. A motivational and inspiring story of bouncing back to wholehearted living and cultivate feelings of self-worth and personal development with the musician lifestyle.

Brian Craig takes you on his journey with him around the world, ending up back in the Northwest where he started his life as a creative entrepreneur, husband, and a local musician. Brian will tell stories about his childhood in Bend, Oregon, as an exchange student in Mexico, his wild adventures in the US Navy, live television news production, and joining a booming live-music scene that sparked his songwriting and performing passions.

He talks about the art of restarting after a streak of unlucky job layoffs and his current challenge of restarting after the world has changed from COVID-19. He'll also talk in depth about his inspirations gathered from his favorite band, Wilco, and more, and he writes lovingly about his parents and siblings, wife Shannon, and children Ben and Emmy Lu.

Funny, honest, and surprising, Craig's memoir will bring listeners inside both his life and his local musical journey, sharing his story, voice, and perspective.
