Hailing from the small town of South Mountain, Ontario (Near Ottawa), Canada, Cory M. Coons has been writing, recording and performing music professionally for over a decade and a half. After a successful 12 year stint with his former "Tycoons" (70's/80's Retro-Rock Party Band), Cory now continues to branch out and perform as a multi-talented Solo Recording Artist, both Acoustically & with Backing Band. In late 2012', his brand new Cd "Here And Now" (Produced with Bob Windsor at Soundbox Studios), has just been released independently, along with the help of his new single to Canadian Radio "Roses Need The Rain" early in January of 2013'. Cory's sound and many influences have been a collective of various genres like Melodic Pop-Rock & Southern-Rock, to Crossover/Country. Cory is also a well respected Freelance Guitar Instructor in the local St. Lawrence Seaway Valley and Ottawa area, and has opened and performed alongside such treasured National Canadian Artists like April Wine, Kim Mitchell, Glass Tiger, David Wilcox & Prairie Oyster. With original and diverse commercial melodies, blended with tasty- driving rock rhythms and well rounded musicianship, Cory M. Coons is a uniquely talented Recording Artist!
