Canadian singer-songwriter Craig Cardiff has built a thriving independent career around songs that bring people together. Cardiff is a JUNO and Canadian Folk Music Award nominee with over 160 million streams across his catalogue. Hailed by Gordon Lightfoot as “a songwriter who needs to be heard,” he blends fingerstyle guitar, textured vocals, live looping, and intimate storytelling across releases like Floods & Fires and True North Records’ All This Time Running. He has shared stages with artists including Blue Rodeo, Gord Downie, Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, and Hawksley Workman. His recording of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” was featured on NBC’s This Is Us, and his Canadian Gold-certified rendition of “Dirty Old Town” has earned over 80 million streams. Touring everywhere from theatres and festivals to house concerts, Cardiff invites audiences to share anonymous stories in his signature Book of Truths to inspire new music, complemented offstage by his work in community songwriting and digital storytelling.
