Craig Brohan is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist whose melodic songwriting and vocal styling range from British Invasion era Acoustic/Folk rock, to classic 70's rock inspired Indie/Alternative.

 

Pursuing his craft since the mid 1970's and founding Master Muse Music (BMI) in 1995, Craig looks forward to songwriting, getting into the studio, and performing once again.  Self-releasing his music as Master Muse Records, the digital age has allowed for the re-mastering of vintage home-recorded demo's that exist in varied recording formats.

 

The singles, "Rock 'n' Roll Magic Girl," (7/23/2020) and "It's So Hard," (10/10/2020) are his first releases.

 

Looking back through the decades, Craig recalls one highlight as being ironically bittersweet.  John Lennon had just been murdered, and the world was mourning the loss of him and his music. Craig took his acoustic guitar to the memorial being held at Seattle Center to share in the grief with others and help in his healing by singing Beatle songs. Hundreds gathered around in celebrating Lennon's life by watching and singing along. Craig recalls the atmosphere as being surreal, almost trance-like.

 

At some point, Craig realized that network camera crews had broken through the encircled mourners and started taping him for their evening news programs covering the event.  Portions of his performance were picked up nationally and aired through network affiliates coast to coast. 

 

As an active lead/backup vocalist drummer/guitar player, Craig performed professionally between 1979 and 1993 in various cover bands, and as a soloist until musically retiring in 2003.  Taking advantage of his ability to play multiple instruments, Craig recorded the backup music for his solo act, being a pre-cursor to the not-to-distant Karaoke craze, but with the difference being that what the audience heard was him singing and playing lead/rhythm guitar live, accompanied  by himself pre-recorded on drums, keyboard, bass guitar and backup vocals.  This allowed Craig to perform solo for both dance and acoustic/coffee-house style gigs.
