Craig Campbell and his family released a wonderful version of “White Christmas” last year, and this year he enlisted his talented daughters, Preslee and Kinni, to record the modern classic “Mary Did You Know.” Written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene, the Campbells’ beautiful rendition will be available on Grindstone Records this Friday, November 25, 2022. Listen HERE.

“It’s always super special to go into the studio with my two girls Preslee and Kinni and this time is no different,” said Craig. “The girls picked this song and it was the perfect one for us to record! We hope y’all love it as much as we loved recording it!”

Craig and his wife Mindy opened Grindstone Cowboy Coffee Shop in Eagleville, Tennessee earlier this year, and they will be hosting two sold-out Christmas concerts at the intimate venue December 17 and 18 as part of the regular Songs from the Stone music series. Ashland Craft, Everette, Teddy Robb and others will drop in to help spread holiday cheer. Visit https://thegrindstonecowboy.com for more information.

In a busy year filled with touring, recording and releasing music – in addition to opening a coffee shop – Craig has also used his experience and talent to sign, produce and release music by new artists such as Ethan Payne and Cody Cozz on his Grindstone Records label. Craig hosted his 8th Annual Celebrity Cornhole Challenge in June and raised more than $25,000 for national nonprofit Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC).

Craig has been dropping hints about recording his own new music, and announcements will be made in the coming weeks with details about his plans for 2023.

About Craig Campbell: In a world fueled by the smoke and mirror act of overnight success, Campbell has long been admired for his patience and persistence on the road less traveled. A consistent balancing act of traditional values and modern industry trends, Campbell is also considered by many to be one of the most talented yet under the radar stars, across all genres. The magic of the keys brought him his hunger for music as a child. The good ole’ down home boy grew up playing his mother’s piano and singing in church. After graduating high school, he took a job as a corrections officer in his hometown of Lyons, Georgia. But music never left his side. Taking a cue from the sounds of classic country and idols like Travis Tritt and Randy Travis, Campbell started a band and played local and national bar gigs. When the guitar player quit, Campbell took that as a sign to chase his dreams all the way to Nashville, Tennessee.

With two Starting in 2002, the young hopeful spent the next several years paying his dues as a demo singer by day and Lower Broadway gigger by night. He connected with fellow South Georgia native Luke Bryan and started touring as his keyboard player. A year and a half long keyboard stint with Tracy Byrd soon followed, and he took over as bandleader down at The Stage on Tuesday nights on his non-touring days. His smooth chops and hot blooded stage presence soon caught the eye of industry execs and in 2009, Campbell signed his first record deal.

His debut single, “Family Man,” hit the Billboard top 15 in 2011. “Outta My Head” also cracked the top 15, catchy tune “Fish” garnered more than 10 million demand streams. His 2014 breakout hit “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” was on its way up the charts when Campbell got the unexpected that his label had closed. He and his devoted team continued to press radio stations around the country, so much so that the single ended an impressive run well inside the Top 10, which is unheard of for a song with no financial backing.

He signed with Red Bow Records, a division of the Broken Bow umbrella, and “Tomorrow Tonight” made it into the top 40, followed by perhaps his most poignant and well-known work to date, “Outskirts of Heaven.” “Outskirts” showcased Campbell’s vulnerability and deep rooted faith and was praised by Rolling Stone and Taste of Country, among others.

The impact of “Outskirts” prompted media appearances and memorable performances at nationally televised NFL games, the TODAY show, CMA Fest, and the Grand Ole Opry, the latter of which he has made over 50 appearances to date. And in a full circle moment, the down home Georgia boy reunited with buddy Luke Bryan on his highly successful 2017 Huntin’, Fishin’, and Lovin’ Every Day Tour.

In the summer of 2018, Campbell released his first new music in five years with his “See You Try” EP on Broken Bow. The title track became an instant crowd pleaser with its confident, flirty lyrics and boot stompin’ melody. The EP also found a home for both an electric and acoustic version of “Outskirts of Heaven.” By August of 2018, Campbell and Broken Bow had mutually parted ways. After a two-year break, he launched Grindstone Records and has been busy recording and releasing his own music as well as signing other artists to his label.
