We had the opportunity to speak with Adam for a bit. We talked about music, life and the holidays. What a great guy and a welcomed addition to our Southern Fellow family. Before we get to the interview check out our Redneck Panini he inspired and also look out for that giveaway at the bottom. Let’s get to it. Here is our interview with Adam Craig.

You are a proven songwriter. What advice would you give future writers?

Write what you know. That way it’ll always be honest. Find like minded people, surround yourself with them. And write every single day. At least once a day.

Who are your top 3 influences and how did they shape you as an artist?

Tim McGraw- best songs, best records, amazing show.

Keith Urban- I remember being in the crowd out in Washington when he played. I’d never heard of him. He came out shredding a guitar and I was blown away. I didn’t know that front men played guitar. All my heroes just sang. I left that concert and for the next 3 years all I did was study guitar. KU is the reason I can play and sing.

Eric Church- by the time I’d heard of Church, I was already in Nashville. I was writing and playing and doing what you do to get better.  I remember I was doing a show with Eric out in Bakersfield at Buck Owens place. From the first note to the last I caught it all. The writing was top notch. I still go back to those first 3 or 4 albums and I’m still blown away by them.

If  we were to interview your best friend from high school, what would they say about you?

Hahah. Ask em if ya want. Hahahahaha

They’d say I was crazy as heck to move 3,000 miles away from home… and in the same breath say how proud they are that I did it.

What is your biggest fear?

When something touches my feet when I’m in the water.

We are always developing recipes here at Southern Fellow. When writing music what recipe do you use?

All the good stuff. Hahahah.
