hey Craig, any chance that there'll be a show in Toronto some time in the near future? I love your music and can't wait to see you on stage. take care on tour!
Went to the show at The Apollo last night and thought you were amazing. So glad I got to see you again, even if it meant sacrificing sleep for music... I think it's always a safe bet to put music first, especially when it's an artist as gifted and talented as you. Thanks and keep the amazing tunes comein!
Hey long time no see!!! I hope everything is going well for you, it's been a crazy season!!! Anyway, my song "Gisele", is going to be in the next movie, you should really have a listen!! Take care for now.

Thank you for the add. Like I said my nephew passed away on Feb. 16, 2009. NILMDTS came in and took pictures and we just recently received our dvd. The song that you have written, "Smallest and Wingless" made the video even more beautiful. Thank you so much. You are awesome. God has blessed you.
You played in Quesnel a few weeks back and we went to watch. Really inspired us towards a more acoustic and real kind of direction. Bought all four cds that they were selling there. :D
Hi Craig your music is still as good as it was ten years ago at Club Zone in Montreal! In fact, it's as good as ever. I'm gonna look for your album on ITunes. Any shows in Montreal soon?
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com
I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!
please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!
I just find you out on myspace and seriously, I must be responsable of your number of playing these last days. I realy like your music and I hope to see you in concert soon.
Hi! You are invited to join my private page :) Be the first to hear new songs and view new photos on my new private page. If you want to be added to my new private page, visit my page and get reading to find out how you can do so!
NOTE: If you're already on my private page or you already got this invitation... Sorry for the repeat invite.
My young guy, Isaac, loves music and recognizes your recent Cd straight off. A while ago he would skip Smallest and Wingless cuz it brought him to unbearable thoughts and difficult feelings as he imagined the death of the stillborn child and the reactions of the parents.
Now he's listening to it again.
I wonder what I would do at 12 years old but more important, he's willing to go back to that space of vulnerability and perhaps? growth. Hmmmmm.
