Cory Branan
CORY BRANAN IN CONCERT:Alt-country crooner Cory Branan is a master of finely crafted tunes that use minimal elements to achieve maximum emotional effect. At his live shows Branan takes the stage with little more than his acoustic guitar and his world-wise voice, using unique phrasing and sparse strumming to conjure up expansive images of vintage-hued Americana on favorites like "Tall Green Grass" and "The Prettiest Waitress in Memphis ". From his unpretentious lyrics to the glass of whiskey he brings on stage, Branan is an authentic performer who never fails to move ticket buyers with his genuine presence and no-frills sound. BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Mississippi-born, Nashville-based alt-country singer-songwriter Cory Branan grew up playing music, performing metal and hard rock in his teens before moving on to a more cerebral sound influenced by artists like John Prine and Leonard Cohen.
