About Don Crigler
Don Crigler is a singer/songwriter based in Star Tannery Virginia and plays acoustic guitar, banjo, ukulele, and harmonica. He keeps over 150 songs in his active play list which range from folk, bluegrass & country to acoustic rock covers from the 50's up to today, and includes many of his original compositions. Don was also a member of the former local music trio "Ain't Done Yet".
He custom tailors each show to the audience and their particular
musical preference. He can transition seamlessly from an acoustic
rock tune to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on ukelele.
The variety of instruments insures that the audience never
looses interest in the music. He has been awarded an
Honorable Mention in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriter's
Contest for one of his original songs, "Albermarle Sound".
Don's CD projects include "Dream Catcher (2001)",
Albermarle Sound (2008)", "The Tracks of Change (2009)",
"Time and Tides (2012)",
"Can't Judge a Book By Its Cover (2014)",
"Ghosts Of The Iron Horse (2015)", "Open Our Eyes (2017)",
"Circles (2017,2018)", "The Favorites (2019)", "The Reckoning (2020)",
"Reflections (2023".
There are also two projects he did while a member of the former "Ain't Done Yet".

Espresso Bar & Cafe, Plan B, El Centro, Joe's Steakhouse Front Royal, Dayton Days,
