This will be Craig's fifth Cozy Cabin performance (I wish I had a five-timers jacket gift), and Idlewheel's third visit.
When Craig first performed in our living room in February 2015, I kept saying to myself, “Craig Bickhardt—Craig Bickhardt!—is playing in my living room!” It was a bit surreal to have an artist of his caliber playing in front of an intimate audience.
Craig Bickhardt and Jack Sundrud do it all with a wry nonchalance that belies their uncommon craftsmanship. These guys know the high road of country-rock better than most. Their credits are solid and sterling. Bickhardt was a member of renowned Nashville group SKB that enjoyed country radio success with hits that included Bickhardt and Schuyler’s “This Old House”. He has also penned songs for Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Martina McBride, and B. B. King, and wrote and sang the closing theme for Robert Duvall’s Academy Award winning film TENDER MERCIES.
Longtime Poco band member Jack Sundrud was a staff songwriter for 15 years in Nashville. Artists who have recorded Sundrud's songs include the late Kenny Rogers, The Judds, Ricochet, The Persuasions, Michael Johnson, Poco and many more.
Sadly, Poco dissolved with the death of founding member Rusty Young in 2021. However, Cimarron 615, a new country-rock band inspired by the Poco tradition, came together while recording Mr. Young's material for a tribute project. The band features Poco members Sundrud, Tom Hampton, Michael Webb and Rick Lonow along with former Sky Kings and Foster & Lloyd member, Bill Lloyd.
A two-lane highway can unfold like a book of stories as the miles flash by. Idlewheel’s music has the same sense of discovery to it – carried along by easy-flowing rhythms are flashes of personal revelation and homespun irony, speeding past you like an oddly familiar (or familiarly odd) small town. Idlewheel is the product of afternoons spent swapping stories and woodshedding songs, of testing each other’s creative limits in defiance of Nashville’s prevailing conservatism. The two of them have a knack for unreeling vignettes and painting miniatures within a pop song structure, displaying a keen eye for the telling lyric detail. Idlewheel makes perfect music for a journey into the heartland. But you don’t need to hit the road to let them take you places; you can travel through song right here at the Cozy Cabin.
As always, thank you for coming out and supporting live music and the artists who make the sounds.
