From Enfield, Nova Scotia, Corey now lives in Halifax of the same province. In the early years of university he dabbled in various musical ventures but mostly began honing his skills as a musician with fellow friend and songwriter Pat LePoidevin. His first full-length album entitled 'Young Squire' was recorded in the various studios of the Mount Allison University Fine Arts building and released in the fall of 2008. Scott Brown says it's his favourite.
After making friends with Sackville marsh prince Shotgun Jimmers, Corey made plans to record his next album and did so under the guidance of Jimmie within the old walls of Marshwinds Farm. Released in January 2010, 'Frost' received modest and well appreciated radio play throughout Canada and was supported with a Fall 2010 tour throughout Ontario & the Maritimes with Sackville badass rock legends The John Wayne Cover Band. Following in true Corey fashion, he befriended the very friendly and talented Dave & Colleen of super duo Construction and Destruction and set out to record his third full-length album in the summer of 2011 at their home/studio in Port Greville, NS. Joined by buddies Liam Finney and Chris Meaney and additionally backed by Dave and Colleen with some later help from Matt Watson & Kevin Brasier, 'The Hunting Party' would turn out to be his freshest album to date.He's been fortunate enough to play shows with the likes of Luke Doucet, Said the Whale, Two Hours Traffic, Boxer the Horse, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Rich Aucoin, Al Tuck, The Tom Fun Orchestra and of course Pat LePoidevin.
Corey has been lucky enough to play the many stages of many past Stereophonic Music Festivals, put on by the Sackville Campus & Community Radio Station CHMA 106.9FM. As well, in August 2010 he played Sackville's famous and beloved Sappyfest Music Festival followed by an appearance at the Galaxie Rising Star Showcase at the 2010 Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton, NB. Other festival performances have included the 2011 In The Dead of Winter Festival in Halifax, NS.
