Folk/Americana Artist’s Pinnacle Project Features Impressive Roster of 20 Artists and Donates All Profits to Charity
Craig Gould, a UK-based Folk/Americana artist, has released his long-awaited debut album, Songs from the Campfire, which is part of his groundbreaking project in partnership with the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). Gould’s debut album features 20 artists and boasts critically acclaimed singles, including “Ain’t No Place to Hide,” “Captain of the Seas,” and “Burned.”
The album celebrates strength, empathy, and normalizes conversations around mental health. Gould has pledged to donate all of the profits from Songs from the Campfire and its singles to CALM to help those in need.
Gould is celebrated as both a songwriter and performer by some of the UK’s most respected acts. His ability to entwine story within song has seen him draw comparisons with music royalty such as Cat Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan.
The album is mixed and mastered by Miles Myerscough-Harris at Whispering Bob Harris’ Under the Apple Tree Studios and co-produced by Gould and Myerscough-Harris. The featured artist roster includes Anna Corcoran, Dan Sealey, Chris Baldwin, Blánid, Jenny Colquitt, Lee Cogswell, and Sophia Di Martino.
Craig left the music behind in 2014 to concentrate on a promising management career. However, in 2016, he collapsed at work, resulting in a severe head injury. Later diagnosed with a severe mental breakdown (leading to PTSD), Craig experienced a ‘burnout’ result after years of working within high paced & pressurized commercial environments.
Songwriting became a tool to process, meditate, and self-analyze. Over the next 12-24 months, songs began to flow, with each one capturing moments of Craig’s journey of recovery. Gould’s dream of turning the darkest of days into hope for others has become a real and monumental project.
