Cory Parkhurst
My name is Cory Parkhurst. I hail from Raleigh, North Carolina. I love all sorts of music from Bill Monroe to Black Sabbath. Had a rock band called Masses of Black. We played covers and originals. Shifted back to acoustic music because I like it's rawness, subtleness, and it's soul. Most of the time, what you see is what you get. My music seems to be classified as "dark folk". I also do traditional songs as well as other things.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I play live. Mainly North Carolina. Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Asheville areas. Mostly stripped down acoustic with other players.
Your musical influences
Black Sabbath, Dylan, Bill Monroe, Johhny Cash, Neil Young, Traditional Appalachia music, Irish music.
Anything else?
My guitarists says I'm a metalhead trapped inside an acoustic body. I'm really into lyrics.
