Artist History b. Port Arthur, Texas, USA. Craig Chaddock, a.k.a Boundary, got his public performance start playing Gästhauses while on a non-musical tour of Germany with the Army. Allegedly played under the name "Goose Fuss" (fuss is German for "foot", pronounced "goose foose") and an early duet act with Michael C. Rein (see links: "Blue Water Rising"). From either crossing the desert one too many times, or later being a captive audience to nonsensical Euro-pop for years, Craig was compelled to write his own corny blend of family-friendly folk/rock for self-amusment. Member of the San Diego Songwriters' Guild, where he runs sound for a monthly local artist showcase. Can be spotted several times a month playing bodhran at the Auld Sod in North Park.

Instruments Acoustic, resonator, & electric guitars, harmonicas, juice harp, djembe, bodhran, various percussion instruments (and toys).

Press Reviews These are not authentic Press reviews, but rather more importantly, comments from you... "You sang on pitch the whole set" - Lisa Chaddock (2/2003); "I think that your stuff is great!" - Sharon Groom (11/2002); "I loved all the songs but in particular The Desert (live mix) and, Porch (not Porsche!). I love the harp on Garbageman, I think there should be more songs with this instrument, seems people don't use it much now." - R.J. Murphy (9/2002); "Your song (Porch) is beautifully bittersweet at this moment; I wept listening to it. That note of hope, and of remembering what we're all about and what life is all about, is so important now." - Sable* (9/2001); "It's very real" - Mike Madill (4/2001); "Loved the acoustic in 'It's You.' Just beautiful!" - Judee Plourde (3/2001); "I really like 'Garbageman,' very cool!" - Karen Walters (3/2001); "I didn't know that you guys became such famous rockstars" - Harald Lutz (3/2001); "I like the garbageman song....would life be better if it were simpler??" - Dave Owens (3/2001)
