Derek McCorkell
?
Is a singer/songwriter based in Elk River , Minnesota ,USA.
Writing ,composing and performing songs mainly in the Country Music genre
but does write & perform in many others as well.
Originally from Northern Ireland Derek has been playing music in one form or another
since he first learned to play guitar at the age of 14 years.By 18 he was already a seasoned
performer on the Local Club & pub scene in his native Ireland. This continued for many years
until he settled down and raised a family.
During the quiet years of course he continued to hone his writing & playing skills.
As the years passed Derek became more of what he is today, a singer/songwriter.
The need to tour about the Country has long since vanished Plus he has re-located
to the State of Minnesota USA leaving his native Ireland far behind.
Although she sometimes reappears in his music, his latest Album for instance is a prime example
of this.The Album entitled "Always There " is a Christian Music based Album featuring 7 original
songs presented in 2 differing Genre's.Contemporary Christian & Celtic Christian ,
allowing the listener the unique perspective of seeing how a slight change in presentation,
can shape how a song is perceived.
