Ms. Lee brings a new dimension to Erickson’s sound with her soulful vocal prowess perfectly accenting Craig’s outstanding guitar and lead vocal work.

Ghost Town showcases a different side of Craig Erickson's musicianship. Released in 2016 through Fervor Records, this all-acoustic instrumental album steps away from the driving electric blues and rock sound that has defined much of his career. Instead, Craig lets the acoustic guitar take center stage, creating a collection of intimate, heartfelt performances that are both reflective and deeply expressive. The album later reached an even wider audience when Mascot Records released it on CD for the first time.
Known for his powerful electric guitar work and influences that include Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Johnny Winter, Craig chose a simpler approach on Ghost Town. Without the support of a full band, each song relies on the warmth, texture, and emotion of acoustic guitar to tell its story. The result is an album that feels personal and unfiltered, offering listeners a chance to experience another dimension of Craig's artistry while proving that great music doesn't need to be loud to leave a lasting impression.

Craig Erickson goes all the way paying homage to his 60s and 70s Classic Rock influences. Drawing great inspiration from the likes of Hendrix, Cream, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, and Tommy Bolin, Erickson and drummer Jeff Martin (Badlands, Racer X, MSG, Leatherwolf, Dokken) unleash Erickson’s electrifying guitar wizardry on the Fervor Records release “All The Way.”
