Darlin’ Corey

From the northern reach of the Appalachian Trail comes the musical trio  Darlin’ Corey. Drawing on the many threads of North American folk music,  their elegant harmonies are the beating heart of their sound, in both their  original music and the traditional Folk, Old Time, and Bluegrass music they  regularly showcase. In Darlin’ Corey’s singing and playing, you can feel the  many years of dedication to these celebrated musical traditions.  Erica Brown’s fiddle-playing is at turns virtuosic and completely  unpretentious. Matt Shipman is an ideal counterpart as his versatility on a  dizzying array of stringed instruments (guitar, Irish bouzouki, 5-string  banjo, mandolin) blend seamlessly, never timid or overpowering. Add to  that Kris Day’s steady and tasteful bass playing and together they create  an engaging performance of thoughtful originals and traditional songs and  tunes that have influenced them along the way.
