About Craig Craig Moritz is a rarity these days. He is a country boy at heart, a what you see is what you get kind of a guy who happens to write and sing some pretty good country music. Craig is a native of Medicine Hat Alberta, but also has spent the better part of his life in Ft. McMurray and now hails from the Edmonton area. Moritz is Alberta through and through. After growing up and working jobs from retail to oilfield, he knew he had yet to find his true path. Craig got hooked on the idea of becoming a country music artist after meeting Toby Keith and having a down to earth, "real" conversation about the music industry with him. Since then Craig has been inspired and motivated, working on a steady path towards his career as a country music artist and songwriter. After cutting his teeth and gaining invaluable experience owning the road on the honky tonk circuit from the hard scrabble town of Fort McMurray in Canada's tough and vast northern oil sands, to racking up the miles in every direction through western Canada and beyond, Craig has become a bona fide national star. Career Highlights •  Selected for a prestigious new artist showcase by the Canadian Country Music Association in 2004. •  Debut album "The Way I Feel" produced by noted west coast producer Tom McKillip (One More Girl, Aaron Pritchett)

released in 2005 and distributed by Royalty Records.. •  Mainstay at major country events like the Calgary Stampede where his no nonsense, let's get down to business and
