Since October 2006, Craig Werth has served as the accompanist/co-arranger for three-time Juno-winner David Francey. Craig served as co-producer for Francey's "Right of Passage" which won a best album Juno in 2008. Currently he is often on tour with David but is sometimes available for solo performances and other projects. In addition to the Francey connection, New Hampshire musician, songwriter, educator, and humorist, Craig Werth, has been performing at coffeehouses, folk festivals, concert halls, and schools (from kindergarten to Elderhostel) for... a wicked long time. He also brings to his writing and performing a life-load of experience as a counselor, teacher, outreach caseworker, builder of musical instruments, and family man. Craig's compositions explore topics ranging from natural wonders like whales, dinosaurs, and zucchinis; to relationships, parenting, his Newfoundland heritage, and his Long Island and Catskill Mountain roots. He performs primarily with voice, guitars, bouzouki, and mountain dulcimer.
