A CRAIG HALLER STORY
The Prelude
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth—presumably by exploding into an infinite amount of stardust that spreads over unfathomable distances.
Billions of years passed…
Prominent people, places, and events unfolded like an epic poem. Wars were waged. Love was made. Comedy and tragedy forged a potent and lasting relationship. The world was loudly going about its business, doing its worldly shit.
Then seemingly out of nowhere…
Craig Haller was born on an ordinary August morning. A middle child, in a middle-class family, in middle America.
The Bio
Craig Haller is an enigmatic singer/songwriter and a compassionate observer of the human condition. While he calls Nashville home, his musical journey draws inspiration from global adventures, the breathtaking landscapes of his Colorado childhood, and the diverse nature of his artistic interests.
A masterful lyricist, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated studio artisan, Haller weaves musical tapestries that fuse the essence of Americana, alternative rock, soulful instrumentalism, and intricately nuanced productions.
Over the past decade, Haller has carved his own path, self-releasing a series of projects that showcase originality and depth. His latest offering, a compelling full-length album titled "That Was Zen, This Is Now," is a testament to his evolution as an artist and storyteller.
That Was Zen, This Is Now
On his new album, "That Was Zen, This Is Now," Haller navigates a delicate balance between mystery and inevitability, merging subconscious yearnings with deliberate ambitions.
“My inspiration for this record goes well beyond music. My love of order, chaos, literature, and Eastern philosophy were all guests of honor at the creative party. The album reflects my deepest rhythmic, harmonic, lyrical, and ideological sensibilities," Haller explains.
"That Was Zen, This Is Now" is a testament to Haller's musical prowess and ability to translate profound experiences and insights into stirring melodies and reflections.
