Clint Crighton Set to be Next Big Thing

by lkatulka on July 16th, 2007

You may not know who Clint Crighton is yet, but expect to hear a lot more about this New South Welshman in the future.

The young singer/songwriter made a name for himself playing small shows in rural New South Wales. Nowadays he’s more at home playing to enthusiastic audiences around the world.

Inspired by his formative years in Wagga Wagga, Clint describes his music as “a fusion of contemporary rock and roots with an urban sound, driven by pure groove and heart.”

He was recently named Artist of the Week on XM Satellite Radio, was profiled by the LA Daily News, and played for industry bigwigs at the illustrious House of Blues in Los Angeles.

Undercover recently reported that Clint has also just signed a major deal with the Fitzgerald Hartley Company, the management company responsible for Toto and Olivia Newton John.

If you’re in regional New South Wales, be sure to catch this local talent in action when he tours next month! See Clint’s MySpace for all the dates, and to check out some of his fantastic music.

Until then, here’s a video of Clint performing a cover of one of my favourite Aussie classics, “Flame Trees.”
