Biography
Singer songwriter guitarist and entertainer Jennifer CORDAY is an award-winning original artist and a professional entertainer, fronting a cover band that will rock your world! CORDAY WILL WIN YOU OVER WITH HER CHARM, HER WIT, and her irresistible charisma on and off the stage! The group is available for hire with her 4-piece professional studio band or with her star-studded all-girl band, The Classic Rock Cougars! She also works regularly as an acoustic act and is available to perform as a soloist, duo, or trio. Corday is not only a fantastic vocalist and musician, but a true entertainer, engaging audiences across the nation for years with her irresistible charisma on and off the stage.
Whatever the line-up, Corday is a front-woman and an entertainer with an incredible personality that captivates audiences of all ages. She is an accomplished guitarist, bassist, and cellist, as well as a captivating vocalist and skilled songwriter. She has sold thousands of CDs to fans across the nation and overseas and her previous records- Coming Undone, Superhero: Wonder Woman Edition, Superhero, Redneck Lesbo, Driven, Welcome To My Past, Kick Ash, Spiderwebs, Inhale, and Naked, are still selling strong!
Corday has a large and loyal following in Los Angeles and Orange County and is also nationally known by all fans of women who rock, having toured and performed at numerous notable venues and huge festivals and events including Dinah Shore in Palm Springs, Womenfest in Key West, L.A. Womenfest at the John Ford Amphitheatre (currently airing on LOGO), Women’s Week in Provincetown, Chicks Rock Music Festival in Cincinnati, and most recently, the Sweet Cruise to the Caribbean! She has opened for Cher, Joan Jett, Sugar Ray, The Dave Matthews Band, Pat Benatar, Joan Osborne, The B-52's, Macy Gray, The Indigo Girls, Meredith Brooks, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, Jonatha Brooke, Sophie B. Hawkins, Chaka Khan, Sheena Easton, Taylor Dayne, Melissa Ferrick, Catie Curtis, and many more. Her music can be heard regularly in film and TV, and can also be heard playing in the background of numerous MTV shows including Made, Making Of The Band, and My Sweet Sixteen, while her ring tones are available for download through Verizon and Samsung. Corday produced and scored music to Andrea Meyerson’s Laughing Matters More, released by All Out Films, featuring national lesbian comics Vickie Shaw, Sabrina Matthews, Rene Kicks, and Elvira Kurt.
As the first ever three-time winner of Best Live Band, Best Alternative Band, and Best Live Female Performer at the Orange County Music Awards, Corday is clearly making everyone sit up and take notice! Corday’s numerous awards, which include nominations for Outstanding New Recording at the Outmusic Awards, Best Song (“I Rule The World” as heard on Driven) and Best Acoustic Group at the OCMAs, Best Pop Rock Band at the Southern California Music Awards, Outstanding Orange County Artist at the L.A. Music Awards, and Video of The Year (“Pie” as heard on Welcome To My Past) at both the LA Music Awards and the GLAMA Awards, are a testimony to her talent.
The new CD, Superhero: Wonder Woman Edition, includes the ten beautifully crafted previously released hit songs from her album Superhero, as well as three brand new bonus tracks. The Superhero Solar City Remixes, produced by Scott Anderson, will dare you to dance and are being distributed to DJs across the nation (DJ’s: Contact Envy Records for your copy!), while “Wonder Woman” mixed by Matt Thorne (The Eels, Trapt, Warrant, Orgy) is a heartfelt tribute to her mother, Judy, whom she lost three years ago to breast cancer. Corday wrote, recorded, and produced the original ten songs in her home studio before delivering the final tracks to mix-master Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan, Melissa Ferrick, Toad the Wet Sprocket). The title track “Superhero” is featured in the new lesbian film starring Jill Bennett and Cathy DeBuono, And Then Came Lola, playing at film festivals around the world. The film also includes Corday’s songs “Losing Control” from her album Welcome To My Past and the title track of her 3rd release, Driven. The Superhero music video airs on MTV’s LOGO, was named one of the Top 15 in the Star Radio 98.7 Rockstar Competition and has won numerous other awards at indie film fests across the nation. The original Superhero CD is packaged in a very impressive double disc Digipack which includes a CD and DVD including the award-winning music video, slide shows, and special behind the scenes footage in The Making of the Video, and the Making Of The CD.
In her spare time, Corday produces "Girl Rock," a monthly video vlog she produces, shoots, and edits for posting on SheWired.com. The vlog features live music from some of the best female musicians in the nation, candid interviews with Corday, and reality-style, behind-the-scenes footage. She also writes for Curve Magazine, gaining loyal lesbian fans across the nation. Her parody of Redneck Woman, “Redneck Lesbo,” is hugely popular across the nation, and a raunchy good time!
Her hit song “Pie” from Welcome To My Past (produced and mixed by Matt Walin at Bitemark Productions) has been described by critics as "a radio's dream," and was included on the MTV Undressed CD soundtrack and is featured in several independent films. Corday also performs at middle schools and high schools everywhere presenting powerful anti-drug concerts with the full band. She has sold and donated thousands of copies of her CD Kick Ash, a collection of nineteen tracks with a positive message for kids. She has toured overseas to perform for the troops in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia, and is always proud to make a difference with her music.
Corday is currently recording a new collection of songs at her home studio, Envy Records. It’s a raw and real, passionate and empowering rock & roll rumble full of heartache and celebration. Songs like “Thunderstruck,” “The More You’re Into Me The Less I’m Into You,” “My Evil Twin,” are fresh and fun hooky anthems, while “Fish Out Of Water,” “I Had It All Wrong,” and “Lemon Seed,” will leave you breathless and stunned. The new record promises to present Corday in a new blue-green place, full of risks and surprises. The underwater photography and CD art and will amaze you as much as the sounds inside. She is currently sponsored by Daisy Rock Guitars, Larrivee Guitars, Levy's Leathers, SKB Cases, Dunlop, D'Addario, Audio Technica, and Peavey.
