For more than five decades, Craig Mecham has been making music: playing keyboards and stringed instruments, singing on stages across England, Utah, Idaho, California, Arizona, Missouri, Washington State, and beyond.
Early in his career, his band The Family Album toured England in a whirlwind run of 350 shows in 13 months, performing for British royalty, the Mayor of London, the Chiefs of Staff Committee of the British Armed Forces, government leaders, religious figures – and, yes, countless 4th-grade audiences.
Craig has penned well over fifty songs, with styles ranging from solo acoustic guitar instrumentals to humorous, nostalgic tales of growing up, to deeply felt slice-of-life ballads. His debut album, Now It’s 2:00 AM – Songs That Wouldn’t Let Me Sleep (released June 2023), captures that signature mix of humor, nostalgia, and emotional honesty that has become his trademark. A second album titled Never Too Late, was released in June of 2025. His third album "It's All Downhill From Here " is currently in production with a scheduled release date of June 2026.
His recorded songs have made impressive strides:
“Driving Through Montana” earned nearly 66,000 spins on small-market radio in 2019, and charted at #8 on Nashville’s New Music Weekly and the Country Indie Music chart.
“Ain’t No Quit” (Feb 2021) held the #1 spot for three weeks on the HUGS Unsigned Artist Top 100 chart, where Craig was nominated in 2021 & 2022 for Male Artist of the Year.
“Somewhere in the World” spent 28 weeks on the HUGS Top 200 chart, and his current release “Don’t Chain Me” reached #1 on that chart.
His music is available on Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming services.
As a performer, Craig blends his musical gifts with sharp storytelling and wry humor. On stage you might hear him talk about hating broccoli as a child, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes at Scout camp, always being the shortest kid in class, finding true love… and saying goodbye to his mother in a care center. He has the rare ability to have you roaring with laughter one moment and quietly dabbing your eyes the next.
Now based in North Logan, Utah, Craig is living the truth of his album title Never Too Late — a working title that reflects his life: starting to record and release music later in life, with a sense of urgency to share his songs while he still can. Voyage Utah
Craig and his wife Tamara share six wonderful children and 20 angelic grandchildren—and many of his songs are steeped in the rich experience of fatherhood, family, faith, and the long journey of a life lived with intention.
Whether you're seeking heartfelt, honest acoustic storytelling, a seasoned performer with decades of stage experience, or a show that mixes laughter, tears and unforgettable songs—Craig Mecham delivers.
