Beautiful House Events:

Craig discovered Beautiful House in November 2000 when we presented Angel at Starry Dynamo Cafe on Main Street.

We were pleased to have him return to Beautiful House as one of our featured performers at The Four Loves on February 10, 2001 and Curl 2 on July 7, 2001.

As we have an open mic around midnight at most of our events, Craig and his friend Lisa O’Neill performed a few songs with Lisa’s guitar and returned February 10, 2001 to perform longer sets.

Craig’s sets feature himself on his own electric guitar performing original songs including “To Find A Good Woman”.

In reference to our theme night, The Four Loves, Craig commented, “Eros, or romantic love is kinda what my songs are about except I’m on the loosing end”.

Albums By Craig Norton:

Craig has been in the studio this summer and will continue into the fall recording tracks off his debut CD. We look forward to hearing more from him in the future.
