Craig Bickhardt and Jack Sundrud do it all with a wry nonchalance that belies their uncommon craftsmanship. These guys know the high road of country rock better than most. Their credits are solid and sterling. Bickhardt was a member of renowned Nashville group SKB that enjoyed country radio success with hits that included Bickhardt and Schuyler's This Old House. He has also penned songs for Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Martina McBride, and B. B. King, and wrote and sang the closing theme for Robert Duvall'sAcademy Award winning film Tender Mercies. Sundrud cracked the charts with Great Plains (Sony Records) and now plays bass in the pioneering country rock group Poco, whose 40-year roster reads like a who's who in the genre. His songs have been recorded by Kenny Rogers, The Judds, The Persuasions and others. Together, Craig and Jack wrote Ty Herndon's mega hit It Must Be Love. Rockport native Parry Ahearn opens.
