Craig Goldy

Craig Goldy (born on November 6, 1961) is the current guitarist for the band Dio.

Before Dio, he played in the bands Vengeance, Rough Cutt, and Giuffria. He replaced Jake E. Lee in Rough Cutt and was himself replaced by Amir Derakh in this group. Prior to joining Rough Cutt, he had played in the band Vengeance. Reportedly, Rough Cutt recorded some demos with Craig Goldy, but he left the band before they got a record deal and recorded their first album. Interestingly, Ronnie James Dio had produced at least two Rough Cutt songs when Jake was still in the band (A Little Kindness and Used And Abused), and Ronnie and his wife Wendy both co-wrote some songs on the first Rough Cutt album, which was recorded after Craig Goldy left the band.
