Craig Philipp started playing bass guitar at the age of 14 in a band called Kashmir. Since then, Craig has played in multiple bands from Ohio to Florida, and just about everywhere in between. Among his credits are recording two extended play discs of rock music with Sammy and the Rejects and Hazardous Waste, a full length album of pop rock with the band LP called “Walk Away,” and a blues album with the Blues Injectors called “Shot of the Blues,” along with a two-disc live concert in Bradenton, Florida with the Blues Injectors. On the two full length studio albums, Craig recorded, engineered, and mastered the albums and wrote or co-wrote most of the songs. His rock-solid bass grooves provide a deep and steady canvas for the rest of the band to color over.
