Cold front music
Cold Front Music is an independent music label, live entertainment agency, and brand based in Northern Virginia — right outside Washington, D.C. — and serving clients across the United States. Founded and owned by award-winning Saxophonist Tony Craddock, Jr., Cold Front Music specializes in providing smooth, uplifting, and dynamic music for weddings; Christian and corporate events; and top jazz festivals and venues. The label’s music releases have been featured on The Weather Channel, Sirius XM, Music Choice, and 70+ jazz radio stations worldwide.
Cold Front Music is committed to ushering an uplifting breeze of inspiration into the mind and spirits of listeners, the same way a cold front uplifts warm air. The concept for Cold Front Music bridges the dual passions that Tony has for music and weather, which date back to his days as a kid listening to smooth jazz in the background of The Weather Channel’s “Local on the 8s” forecast segments.
