Lead, Rythym Guitar & Backing Vocals
Corey's been playing musical instruments of one sort or another
since he was 4 months old. He started playing a ukelele to help impress
chicks for his dad who was a full time Gigilo. He was so good at it,
his dad moved him up to the pan flute, the skin flute, and finally the
guitar.
When he was seven Corey's dad had hit rock bottom and
needed money. So, he put Corey on the street corner with a scuffed up
hat and sunglasses and made him play for money. To cheap to take up
real drugs, Corey got addicted to sniffing pixi-sticks. It was at his
dealer's house that he met Tom. It wasn't long before they beat their
addiction to pixi and started playing classic rock covers as 28-IF.
After mastering the cover band scene and sleeping with
every groupie that he ever met (even the guys), he decided it was time
to look for an original band. Dave actually knew Tom and after Tom
asked Dave to join the band as a bass player, he went to check out the
28-IF band and realized Corey was looking for some more work in an
original outfit. Se he came to try out with the rest of The Deadwoods.
We knew we had a match the first time Corey played with us. He is a
classic rock and blues inspired guitar player and an AC/DC freak, which
was the missing ingredient in the The Deadwoods recipe. He also loves
to drink beer and tell dirty jokes, which certainly doesn't hurt your
chances when trying out for The Deadwoods.
