Raised on a dairy farm in northeast Ohio, Cori is the youngest of seven siblings. Her first exposure to music came from her mother who played both guitar and organ and sang bass in a women’s barbershop chorus. While her first instrumental lessons were on the organ, Cori would constantly get out her mother’s guitar and check to see if she could yet reach the neck and strings to play it. Finally given a smaller guitar of her own, the organ was soon forgotten and the guitar became her instrument of choice with no looking back! Cori can also play bass and tinkers with a few other instruments.

This singer/songwriter is most often vocally compared to Anne Murray. Cori has a country lean, but is just as comfortable covering artists such as Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Tyler, Rita Coolidge and others. Her singing experience includes choirs, ensembles and praise teams as well as a soloist and has performed for weddings, organizations, charity events, fundraisers, festivals and local venues.

A creative tomboy, Cori’s other interests include photography, drawing, painting, leather tooling, and many sports and outdoor activities.
