John Craigie

Experience an intimate and memorable night of roots-driven music as Hardly Strictly Bluegrass & GAMH present Out of the Park… John Craigie with special guest Anna Moss on Friday, October 2, 2026. Bringing together one of the most engaging storytellers in contemporary Americana with a talented special guest, this evening promises a warm, soulful concert experience centered on honest songwriting, rich musicianship, and the unique connection that can only happen in a live room.

John Craigie has spent more than a decade building a devoted audience through songs and stories that feel less like a performance and more like a conversation between friends. His music combines folk, Americana, and roots influences with sharp observations, humor, vulnerability, and an unmistakable sense of sincerity. His 2026 album, I Swam Here, expands that sound through collaborations and recordings made between New Orleans and Astoria, bringing together the musical character of the Gulf Coast with the quieter atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest.

Craigie’s longtime collaborator Anna Moss joins him as special guest, adding another compelling dimension to the evening. Their musical connection has been featured throughout Craigie’s recent work, making this pairing particularly appealing for longtime listeners and newcomers alike.

The concert takes place with doors opening at 7:00 PM and the show beginning at 8:00 PM. Ticket options include $40 advance General Admission, $79.50 Balcony, and $50 General Admission at the door. Advance tickets go on sale Friday, July 24 at 10:00 AM.

The event also carries a meaningful community-minded component. In partnership with Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, $2 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, supporting musicians and music-industry workers in need.

Whether you’re drawn by Craigie’s storytelling, Anna Moss’s musical talents, the intimate concert atmosphere, or the opportunity to support a worthwhile cause, this is an evening designed to leave a lasting impression. Gather your friends, secure your tickets, and settle in for an unforgettable night of roots music, stories, collaboration, and connection.
