CRAIG VELTRI Releases “BILOXI”

by Skope • March 24, 2025

Singer-songwriter Craig Veltri unveils his latest single, “Biloxi,” a heartfelt ballad that captures the yearning for a second chance at love. Produced by PT Houston at Off The Row Studios in Franklin, TN, this evocative track paints a vivid picture of two souls who missed their moment, seeking solace and secrecy in the unfamiliar backdrop of Biloxi, Mississippi. With tender lyrics and soulful melodies, “Biloxi” invites listeners to get swept up in the romance and vulnerability of a love that could have been. The song’s narrative follows two lovers who, unable to be together in the past, plot a secret rendezvous in a place where no one would think to look for them — the iconic Southern city of Biloxi. The official music video for “Biloxi” has just been released, adding a visually captivating element to the song’s storytelling. “I hope listeners feel the romance and passion behind this song,” shares Veltri. “It’s about seizing that moment and running away from everything that held you back.”

To turn a phrase from his song “Home Out on the Shore,” Craig Veltri is a “country/urban hybrid”.

In August 2020, Veltri released his first EP, Vagabond. Produced by former Charlie Daniels Band drummer, Jack Gavin, this EP is a culmination of Veltri “cutting his teeth”

in Nashville for the previous 5 years.

Veltri has released 6 singles since Vagabond continuing to flex and stretch his creative range. Whether it be “Shine On”, a Beatles inspired song penned by Veltri and produced by fellow Pittsburgh native Bryan Cole, or his most recent single “Wandering Eye”, a song with a Hank Williams inspired motif co-written by Abby Hankins and produced by PT Houston of Off The Row Studios, Craig Veltri intends to never shy away

from any genre of music and refuses to be pigeonholed.

In November 2022, he released a video for the single “Makin’ Noise on Music Row”filmed entirely on location in Nashville, TN with the help of Eli Adelman and Ten Bears Productions.

His latest record, a full length, acoustic, concept record entitled “Letters to the Defendant” details the downfall of his marriage due to alcoholism, his personal housecleaning and redemption.

A proud native of Pittsburgh, PA, Craig Veltri currently resides in the Steel City. He is also the host of The Craig Veltri Interview, a talk show and podcast dropping on the Scarfire Media Podcast Network every Friday.
