Kevin Crafton is a Folk-Rock artist that draws inspiration from the poetry of Jim Daniels and James Wright. With his LP The Vacant Heartland, the scene has been set for his telling the story of the demise of the countries heart and thus morale. This kind of music is something that may have been heard in the late 1970’s with the like of Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp imbued with touches of early 1990’s alternative and modern indie/alt-county. The lyrics convey a message, not of political stance, but of an objective view of the Nation as a whole.
Crafton has played the Phoenix Theatre, The Melody Inn, The Vollrath, The Spot, and Lazy Daze Cafe a number of times in Indy, as well as places in Bloomington, Muncie, Greencastle, Louisville, KY, Champaign, IL, Dayton and Columbus, OH. He is planning tours all over the south and east, as well as the the Plains states in the coming months, with shows already set up in Chicago, North Carolina and Atlanta. He has played with such acts as Sarah VonderHaar(IL), Hero Jr (IN), Jascha.(IN), Ryan Puett and the Calico Dream(IN), Frontier Folk Nebraska(KY), Grey Market (FL), The Private Life of David Reed (SC) and This Holy House (AR).
