“Corey is an 'authentic' performer who sings from the heart! His music is an expression of his thoughts, feelings and experiences and....I particularly enjoyed the songs that were written BY him FOR him.”

“I found the music fresh and original. The musicians presented a fun atmosphere and showed such a comradery with each other. It was an honor to attend.”

"This was my first time attending a CD recording. I loved it."
Ruth Flemming - Audience Member
"The talent that Corey, Neal and Mike have is awesome. I enjoyed every minute of the performance tonight."
Cindy Galt - Audience Member
"Among crowd favourites were the upbeat and somewhat risqué 'Another Sleazy Prick' and the countrified, John Wayne-inspired 'The Duke'. But no matter what material they performed, the guys imprinted it with their personalized 6-Pack stamp."
