Hot acoustic Americana...if Gillian Welch were a boy, and could play guitar better...and could play four other instruments, and had curly hair, why, that'd be Korby. Great singing, honest pickin, and songs that will be sung a hundred years from now.
Bio / Background
Not only is award-winning singer-songwriter Korby Lenker a real good picker, but he also sings with a voice as smooth as Tennessee molasses. Imagine a more honest Roy Rogers. A Gillian Welch with a hot-picking edge. This acoustic crooner brings his high-lonesome singing from the Northwestern-most county in the US of A. With an ambitious sweep of instruments-guitar, mandolin, fiddle and pennywhistle among them-Korby blends honest songcraft with the subtle ferocity of traditional old-time and bluegrass music. An engaging performer, his natural penchant for play translates into an uncanny ability to connect with his audience: expect to hear tragic ballads, playful fiddle tunes, fast flat-picking, and a lot of great singing from this genuinely original voice from the Pacific Northwest.
A sample of what the good people are saying:
"As a flatpickin' guitarist, he's every bit as talented as more veteran players".
