About Craig Allen Hect
Genre: Rock/Funk/Prog/Polka
Band Location: Saint Paul, MN, USA

Born March 19th, 1957. My Dad started me on ukulele at age 5, cause my
hands were too little to play guitar. Both of my parents were musical and
played several different instruments, we used to have jam sessions on the
weekends where I played drums on coffee cans with pencils. My first
electric guitar was a Montgomery Wards Airline my Dad picked up for 14
bucks played thru his 1940's Supro tube amp. As I got older I had a bunch
of high school basement bands that never went anywhere but were great
for sharpening my skills. I joined my first cover band, The Companions, at
age 19 and started playing various bowling alleys and clubs in a career that
lasted some 37 years playing other people's music in different bands, some
great, some not so. The best band I was in and the one I'm proudest of was
The Express Band, I enjoyed a 20+ year run with them and they're still going
strong today playing amazing shows. Through all these bands I was always
writing original music, starting out with a small 4 track studio, tape deck,
drum machine, guitar and synth. Then in the early 80's I met Scott
Halverson, the husband of one of my Wife's friends at work. He had a deep
love of music also and we developed a fast friendship. He was an
accomplished classical guitarist with a great sense of melody and soon we
were writing together on various recording projects like Breanhammer,
Private Universe and finally, The 3rd Bridge, which we started around 2014.
We were able to share our music worldwide using the web and online radio
stations, most notably XRP Radio out of Birmingham, England. Then around
2015 Scott became sick with cancer and passed in January of 2016, leaving
me to carry on. I still have lyrics of his to put music to and am writing new
songs as well that carry the 3rd Bridge message of Peace, Love and Light.
Eventually, I branched out into writing other music that I didn't feel had the
3rd Bridge vibe so I started recording it under several different aliases
including, Breanhammer, Texan Betty, C-Rage and the Icebox Studios All-
Stars, Screwdrivers to Ears and of course, Craig Allen Hecht. At the
present, my little 4 track studio has evolved into Icebox Studios, a fully
loaded audio and video production lab. So now I wear two hats, I carry the
legacy of The 3rd Bridge and explore the future as Icebox Studios, I hope
you enjoy both.
