Craig D'Andrea (born in Riverside, Connecticut) is an American acoustic guitarist currently signed to CandyRat Records.
Craig began his musical education when he played cello at Riverside Elementary School. He quit in middle school because he had been playing by ear and could not read music. He later received two baritone ukuleles, and then began guitar lessons in 1999. Eventually he became interested in the fingerstyle guitarist Don Ross.
In 2005 he was contacted by Rob Poland of CandyRat Records. He released his debut album on the label, Crazy is Catching, in 2007. He has since performed and toured with other CandyRat guitarists such as Antoine Dufour, Ewan Dobson, Gareth Pearson and Peter Ciluzzi.
