Short Bio

Folk/Americana singer-songwriter Craig Gould combines his "Beautiful songs" (Simon Fowler, Ocean Colour Scene) and "Powerful voice" (Mark Chadwick, Levellers) to entwine his listeners within his "Wonderfully crafted tales" (BBC Introducing)

"Watch out - Craig Gould is going to explode onto the Folk/Americana scene in 2022" - OneZeroPresents

Craig's much anticipated debut single release "Ain't No Place To Hide" smashed in at #2 in the iTunes UK Country Chart to resounding critical acclaim. The song received airplay on Chris Country Radio, BBC Radio Kent, BBC Radio Derby and BBC WM, as well as being chosen as the "Release of the Week" by BBC Radio Kent's Anna Louise, the BCMA and MAM

"Gould is unique & genuine in his engaging songs. A happy tune coupled with severe lyricism makes this single rather innovative" TheOtherSideReviews

His second release "Captain of the Seas" gave Craig his first #1 in the Amazon Music  'Hot New Release' Folk Chart, and also hit #4 in the iTunes UK Singer/Songwriter chart. The single was named as BBC Radio Kent's "Release of the Week" for a second time and also received over 150 plays on Amazing Radio's USA & UK streaming services!

"Gentle, reflective, yet heartbreaking...the melody builds like a storm with distinctive tone and thought-provoking lyrics" BluesBlues

Having taken the stage at some of the UK's most loved venues (Birmingham Symphony Hall, Islington Academy, Liverpool Cavern Club, Camden Barfly) and lauded festivals (Bearded Theory, Solfest, Timber Festival), Craig has also supported huge UK artists such as Levellers and Ocean Colour Scene.

"I'm taken with Craig's ability to tell a story through song - classic instrumentals with such an uplifting and catchy chorus - I knew I had to share it"  YorkCalling

2021 has been a big year for Craig -  alongside his single releases he was commissioned by the beautiful Circularity.org and the National Forest to write a song about nature and how it can be used as a healing tool. The song was released with other artist commissions as part of an EP. Earlier in the year, Craig ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to fund the album project, obtaining over 80 separate donors.

Craig's timeless and contemporary songwriting is finally being released throughtout 2021/22 as part of his groundbreaking project in partnership with the mental health charity CALM
