"So Near Yet So Far with Simone Olding is an absolutely fabulous blend of superb instrumentals, fine storytelling and Craig's trademark emotive vocals. Highly Recommended." - Pat Drummond
"..but the (live) performance is just as good as the CD as you get the visual appreciation of Craig and Simone's musical talents and just how together their music really is." - Cornstalk Gazette

Craig Dawson and Simone Olding are popular performers around the festival scene and their latest album, "So Near yet So Far," is sure to enhance a reputation built on thought provoking and well crafted songs. - Bruce Cameron
CRAIG
Craig is a songwriter, music teacher and musician who has performed in bands and as a soloist since 1984. He has written several children's musicals, performed as a studio musician and released two CD's and one EP. At the year 2000 Tamworth Country Music Independent Artist's Recognition Awards (TIARA) Craig won the "best instrumental" section for his solo acoustic guitar tune Pickin' on The Captain. He has since gained favourable recognition for his songwriting and fingerstyle guitar work in reviews in overseas music magazines and Internet sites in Italy, the United Kingdom and California. Craig has also appeared on a number of community radio programs and the ABC.
"Moody folk musings from a musician who understands the less-is-more aesthetic to songwriting. Craig Dawson is a proficient guitar player and Singer-Songwriter. He seems to have grown up with a plethora of good folk music that naturally seeped into his own songs. Dawson's music is as good as anything that has influenced him." - Eric S. "www.listen.com"
"... this is probably the only real style of country/folk music that has been perfected in Australia and it is certainly achieved here. With the great debate going on about what is "The Australian Sound" I wish more people would listen to these type of songs." - Les Speerin. Editor of "Total Country."
