The Old Standard combines the singer/songwriter skills of Craig Armstrong with the melodic stylings of AJ Litke, and the percussive talents of Nate Cook, creating musical loveliness for your listening enjoyment.Our songs are 99.9% organically modified versions of songs originally written by Craig as a part of his need to vent frustrations, cast out depressions, and seduce his lady (Those are just the basics). AJ then comes in to swing with sweet rifts and piano bits of joy. The man knows how to pump out a solo, am I right? ("You're right"). Finally, made of spunk and hi-hat, Nate crafts his percussive magic full of funk and hand claps. Some say he was born in a kick drum, and that he refuses to wash his jeans.
