Interview with Cory Marquardt
Ontario Country artist CORY MARQUARDT has just released his debut album called This Man\xa0featuring the first single "21."\n\nCory returns as part of the Outlaws &\xa0Outsiders tour this June with dates in Ontario. The tour stars Aaron Pritchett and also features new country duo King & Cash.\n\nHis influences range from Eric Church to Merle\xa0Haggard - and from Rush to\xa0John Mayer. If it's a good song, it'll catch\xa0Cory's ear.\xa0\n\n"I\u2019m a huge fan of Eric Church and very happy with what he is doing in country music," explains Cory.\xa0"I still have some boot left to fill but I\u2019m making my way and plan on doing that. Like me, he has a solid rock background mixed with some traditional country which is included especially in our live show."\n\nLike most\xa0Canadian Country artists, the journey of writing and recording includes trips to Nashville.\n\n"Since my first\xa0trip to Nashville in 2012, I\u2019ve written over\xa0100 songs with\xa0some amazing writers and have created some really cool and honest songs.\xa0Writing with people\xa0like Rob Crosby, Jason Deere, James Dean Hicks, my good friend Danick Dupelle from Emerson Drive, Patricia Conroy\xa0and many more make the writing process fun and quite easy."\n\nTune in to hear Cory talk about his music career, songwriting, Nashville, his new album & much more!
