A notebook. A roomful of strangers. Something you have not said out loud.

At Craig’s live shows, the Book of Truths passes from person to person. Audience members are invited to contribute an anonymous story—a hope, a heartbreak, a confession, or a thought they have carried quietly.

The project creates a conversation between performer and audience. Some entries become the beginnings of songs; all are part of the shared experience of a night of music.

From the page to a song

The audio and video project is developing through readings of the audience notebooks and songs inspired by their stories. Follow the process as spoken reflections become musical ideas.
