NO ADVANCE TICKET SALES. ADMISSION IS FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED AT THE DOOR. $15 GENERAL ADMISSION, $8 MEMBERS.

Craig Walter has performed from New Jersey to California and is a familiar presence in Colorado Springs venues. He is a singer, songwriter, and performer who has several records and CDs to his credit. First Stop, Still Learnin’ How To Fly, Driftwood Fires, and the 2021 release Last Chance Café are collections of Craig’s from-the-heart original songs. Craig has performed at the Fine Arts Center, the Pikes Peak Center, MeadowGrass, and at Stargazers tributes over the past several years. We first heard Craig last year as a Black Rose opening act and liked him so much we invited him back this year as a Feature Act!

Craig will be joined on stage by an all-star cast of Colorado Springs musicians:

  • Susan Rissman is a veteran singer who has performed throughout the Colorado Springs area. She is a very popular artist and is known for her appearances with many local bands including “One Fine Day” and “Tiny Barge & the Big Chill.” She has performed on stage with and Craig and other area musicans on numerous occasions and has contributed to Craig’s studio recordings.

  • Paul Haller and Craig have a long relationship in a variety of musical ensembles including the band “Tight Squeeze.”  Paul has actively participated in all of Craig’s recordings at Green Mountain Studio and has provided a wide variety of piano and keyboard backing for both recordings and live performances.  His tasteful playing keeps him in high demand on the local music scene.

  • Steve Foster rounds out the quartet on acoustic bass.
