John Craigie is performing on the east coast at the moment but will eventually head back west for his upcoming show on Vashon. Jeff Hoyt caught up with him in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts for a bit of conversation and asked him to introduce a couple of songs that give a sense of his songwriting style and sense of humor.

See John Craigie at the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie on Friday, December 16 at 8pm. Tickets are $15 at Vashon Book Shop or brownpapertickets.com. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Voice of Vashon. Presented by Debra Heesch.
