In the final minutes before Corey Cox takes to the stage, no matter the venue or size of the crowd, his routine is the same. A few fist pounds with his band, a hug from Mom, and a short chat with his Dad. It happens fast, but it happens. It is a routine that the twenty-two year old has gone through multiple times throughout the past three years.
Over the course of those three years, Cox has gone from playing to a crowd of six in his family room, to signing a publishing contract with Nashville's Better Angels Music, to performing the National Anthem in front of 60,000 fans at an Indianapolis Colts game, a packed Conseco Coliseum at an Indiana Pacers/Miami Heat game, and in concert with dozens of national touring acts.
In the small Indiana town of Markleville, IN, a historic community with a population near 400, Cox learned the benefits of family, friends, hard work, playing sports -- and listening to country music.
“I think growing up listening to country music is what drove me to actually sing country once I started playing," Cox says. “I know the hometown, reallife stories you experience growing up in a small community are definitely reflected in my music."
“I remember getting my first guitar and learning to play it from reading a book," Cox says. “I started strumming along with some Garth Brooks songs. When I saw other people's reaction to my music, I knew immediately what I wanted to do. Being able to perform, and to see the reaction of our fans, is exactly why I chose this career. We do this for the fans." |
