Craig Sowby
Fiddle
Fiddle
With a lifelong passion for music, Craig's journey began at age four with the violin, but things got loud when he discovered drums in high school. Born on Halloween, Craig likes to say his first cry was more of a spooky drumroll of what was to come. Embracing his "spooky baby" status, he leaned into his musical talents and started recording and producing in 2002, crafting numerous albums with a blend of technical skill and a dash of haunting flair. A Utah native, he honed his craft at UVU as concertmaster and jazz drummer. Now in Florida, Craig makes music with his cellist wife and three eerily talented kids, forming a family band that’s anything but scary—well, except maybe on Halloween!
