Comments from a few of the very talented individuals with whom I have had the privilege of working...
"Craig has been a pleasure to work with, not only for his excellent musicianship but equally because of his humble,servant-like heart. We played together twenty-some years ago and just recently did a gig together and the only thing that was different was how much he had grown as a player. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a quality musician."
Chris Davis
Guitarist with GLAD/Studio Musician/Producer
"Craig is a good friend and a great bass player who understands his role as a musician and supports a team well with his instrument and his attitude. He plays with humility and confidence - an interesting but satisfying combination. I am always thrilled when I get to work with Craig."
Frances Drost
Songwriter/Recording Artist
2009 Momentum Awards "Female Artist of the Year"
"Craig plays the root notes with precision and holds the "bottom" down with determined focus. Craig's posture and presence reflects not only the gratitude he has for the gifts the Lord has bestowed upon him but also his love and joy of worship."
Ruth Naomi Floyd
Vocalist-Composer/Recording Artist
"Thick grooves, lyrical lines, and a musical understanding to be sensitive to the moment. Craig has the ability to do all three. Most importantly, he has the humility to look you in the eyes with an unassuming grin and say that it is a God thing. Craig is a gifted musician who understands that God has given him the ability to make music. Craig, thanks for the worship moments that we have shared because I have heard your heart through [your bass]."

"An absolutely amazing musician!! A true blessing to have working in the Studio with his amazing talent and abilities."
Andy Henry
Studio 911
"It is always a pleasure to network with Craig in various musical arenas. Craig is extremely easy going and yet has a passion and desire to do things well. When I am leading worship at a larger venue and want a bass player who can "step in and get it done" quickly and with great excellence, I first think of Craig. He also plays other instruments well and is always interested in developing those skills. He also has a passion to multiply his gifts of playing and leadership with others, which allows him to accept people where they are and encourages them to bigger and better things! I deeply appreciate his heart and skill, as well as his desire to effectively connect with people and the Lord personally."
Dave "Hersh" Hershberger
Pastor of Worship Ministries
Mechanicsburg Brethren In Christ Church
"I have been privileged to have Craig play bass with me over the years in my worship ministry. Craig is not only a great bass player but I believe he plays for the right reason - to honor our Lord and praise His name."
Ken Kipp
Songwriter/Worship Leader
"Pitch, Time and Rhythm. These are essential elements to the basic needs of good music. Match those elements with Passion, Understanding and Execution and you have the makings of great performance. Craig has all these elements and he expresses himself quite well as a bassist. Craig is a true music professional. He played bass for me and showed audiences in every performance his integrity expressed through music. He possesses style, class and a keen sense of what makes music great. Craig is a man who truly understands his deposit in the overall program. These elements of greatness are resident in Craig Gephart, therefore his bass playing exemplifies greatness sonically. If you have the opportunity to experience this man and his music, you will be blessed and edified! It is my honor to commend Craig Gephart to you! "
Marvin Matthews
Artist/Minister/Entertainer
"I've had the privilege of partnering with Craig in worship music as well as jazz and Christmas venues. Whatever the style, Craig comes through with style! He's a down-to-earth, servant-hearted musician with a great ear and a flexible, skillful approach -- very enjoyable to work with."

"Love the way you approach your ministry. We need more guys and gals with your heart."
"WOW! Glimpses of You is KILLER playing, man! It may start at the low end - but it seems to veer up into mandolin territory for a stretch. MAJOR respect for your chops man! ...your range is impressive."
