Cory Phillips

Master level performer.
Cory entertains audiences with world-class blue-eyed soul singing, wizardly acoustic guitar work, obligatory sexy grooves, and masterful songcrafting. He has a substantial trove of original music, and has released several albums. People liken his acoustic soul sound to Al Green, Chris Stapleton, Leon Bridges, Otis Redding, Teddy Swims, and Prince. He can also perform a large catalog of covers from Motown to classic pop & rock to soul & country.

Cory entertains with some familiar songs at first, reading the room, but then you notice how incredible his vocal range and ability is. He gets increasing groovy and funky, and pulls out a wide range of some extremely difficult cover songs to perfection. He quickly enthralls everyone, and impresses them all with smart, passionate lyrics and acoustic guitar prowess.

Touring singer/songwriter, Cory Phillips, performs 200 shows a year... He is unique natural: a sensual, soulful singer of super rare quality, talent, range, and skill - with acoustic guitar prowess only rivaled by his memorable voice. His music aches with the rootsy vintage r&b of Stax and Motown and the hot southern soul of Nashville and Memphis, and elegantly pivots to classic country rock, 70s disco, and 80s pop seamlessly. His new solid gold classics are spun with gold and poetry throughout. His newest studio album, SEXTHIRSTYLOVEHUNGER, is a dirty bouquet of groove, funk, and soul that hit #28 on the Billboard’s New R&B Albums chart. An authentic and travelled musicman, he is simply the best male singer out on the road today. Cory tours extensively throughout the US, solo, duo, and band. Every audience has a hugely entertaining time, has their souls stirred, and remembers a damn good performance.
