ABOUT CRAIG WAYNE BOYD:
Rooted in the southern tradition of country music and topped with a
rebellious flair, Craig is an extreme talent who excelled at singing and
playing the guitar at age of four. He received long-due critical and
mainstream recognition as the Season 7 winner of The Voice. Taking the
title as a member of Team Blake (Shelton), Craig dazzled the audience
with the premiere performance of “My Baby’s Got A Smile on Her Face,”
which debuted No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, becoming the second
song (following Garth Brooks’ “More Than A Memory”) to ever do so.
Growing up in the Dallas, Texas suburb of Mesquite, Craig’s childhood
was highly influenced by gospel and country music and he later became
the choir director at his hometown church. After a trip to Nashville,
life-changing events came his way. Craig signed a publishing deal with
EMI and after several years of prolific songwriting, he began touring
heavily, logging more than 1,000 shows in four years, and toured with
acts like Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser and Brantley Gilbert. In addition,
Craig also played with Rascal Flatts during their Vegas Riot! nine-show
residency at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas before continuing on his
headlining West Bound and Down Tour. Since winning The Voice, Craig has
been busy touring and recording a new album. For more information,
