listen to country music while being milked.
Farley graduated high school in 2004, where he then ventured to Phoenix, AZ to continue his education. Shortly
after his move, Corys passion for music evolved to being far more than a hobby. He began singing with a few local bands
in the valley before ultimately being dubbed as the lead singer in a band of his own known as Redneck Revolution.
Farley
The band performed in an array of honkytonks, night clubs, and bars all around the valley where Cory enhanced his
stage presence and earned his reputation for putting on a rowdy show. From running on top of the bar, swinging from
rafters, dancing on tables, and jumping off stage, Farley never fails to exceed the crowds expectations. The dedicated
artist believes putting on a successful show calls for more than mere vocal abilities.
After graduating from college and performing around the valley for years, in 2010 Cory set out to pursue a
full-time music career in Nashville, TN. He now has his own band and has since opened up for artists such as the
legendary Marty Stuart. In early 2013, Farley signed a deal with an entertainment company and is now invading stages
nationwide. With his signature voice, drive, and unforgettably wild shows, Cory Farley is one musician to keep an eye
on as his name ascends to stardom.
Easton Corbin
With two No. 1 singles, multiple awards and nominations, plus performances on some
of the biggest stages in the world, Mercury Nashvilles Easton Corbin has made a lasting
impression on the country music landscape. He is lauded for his traditional country sound,
authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. American Songwriter says, Easton Corbin
has one of those rare, glorious voices that was madejust madefor singing country music.
His self-titled debut album released in 2010 and spawned back-to-back hits A Little More
Country Than That and Roll With It; making him the first country male artist in 17 years to
have his first two consecutive singles reach No. 1. In 2012 the Gilchrist County Florida native
released his sophomore album, All Over The Road, which included the Top 5 hits Lovin You Is
Fun and All Over The Road. Corbin set a career-best debut on Country Airplay with his top 5
hit single, Baby Be My Love Song, from his No. 1 debuting album About To Get Real.
His latest single, Are You With Me, was most added song at country radio the day it was
released. Are You With Me first appeared on All Over The Road and was such a special song
to Corbin he carried it over to About To Get Real in hopes it would be a radio single. Corbin
spent 2016 on one of the biggest tours in country music -Carrie Underwoods The Storyteller
Tour. Corbin is currently in the studio working on new music for his fourth studio album.
