Craig was a co-founder/producer of the first [what is now called] Waterfront Blues Festival, and until 1993, the talent booker. Betty Mayther provided the funding for the recording and production of the inaugural festival album. Together, The Mayther Brothers played the festival for many years, with Chris continuing on with the Chris Mayther Band. Not only were Chris & Craig amazing musicians, but they were also wonderful men, helping out their fellow musicians and friends in the community, in any way they could. Please help us to ensure that their musical and humanitarian gifts and legacy are not forgotten.

Seeing this kind of momentum behind the Mayther brothers is truly humbling for me. I never imagined that so many people would come together to honor their legacy in this way. This belongs entirely to all of you who have kept their stories alive.

An old friend from the 1970s. I remember Craig could do anything with a guitar, even Spanish classical music. God bless him and his family.

I met Craig through the Portland Music Association which included Tony Demicoli of Key Largo, Peter Mott from The Last Hurrah and others. This was during the Mayor's Ball years, Bud Clark was Mayor and there was lots of energy around local music. In addition to the Mayther Brothers, Craig was a tireless advocate for the promotion and appreciation of all local music.

I knew Craig from Bush Park in Salem,OR back in the late 60"s. He'd have his guitar playing some of the first Blues I had heard seen someone play. Great musician!
