MEET THE MICHAEL CRAIN BAND

From right to left: MICHAEL CRAIN, Texas born singer, songwriter, guitarist, and consummate
entertainer has written and recorded 3 albums to date. Aside from a 2-1/2 year hiatus performing in Nashville, he has built a long standing reputation in the Northwest public and private club circuit as well as corporate engagements. Never the impersonator type, Michael's rich and versatile voice can breath new life into classic Elvis, Tom Jones and Neil Diamond songs, as well as 60's oldies, country and standards. DEREK WINKEL, from Detroit, Michigan, can be best described as the essential bass
player's bass player. Derek's career has taken him all over the Western U.S., in all manner of top rock, jazz, blues & country acts. Seasoned, inventive and solid. MIKE CARINI, drummer, and Michael Crain's lifelong musical collaborator. In addition to 25 years with the Crain band, Mike spent serious time in the 80's on the Los Angeles club scene. He can rock n' roll with the best of them. DAVE CROSTON, Tacoma born; lead guitar and musical director. Dave has recorded and produced all of Michael's albums, plus two
smooth jazz CD's of his own. His flair on guitar can fill a quartet's sound like few others can, and he doubles on vocals, keyboards & saxophone. His 38 years in the business includes everything from Las Vegas shows, Northwest radio and TV soundtracks to just about every imaginable western Washington venue. THE MICHAEL CRAIN DUO--for smaller venues, consider booking the busy 'Michael Crain Duo'. A downsized version of the band, both Michael and lead guitarist Dave Croston perform, filling small to medium sized rooms with a song and dance variety identical to the full group, but condensed down, with the use of authentic background performance tracks. This option has proven ideal for many events. |
