  • Bio

    ................ Conrad Korsch has worked as a bassist and vocalist with some of the finest singers and songwriters in the music business: Rod Stewart (his steady gig for the past 7 years), Carly Simon, Rosanne Cash, Carole King, Marc Cohn, Christopher Cross, Joan Osborne, Madeleine Peyroux, Gavin DeGraw, Andrea Bocelli + Bette Midler, to name a few. "LIVE LOVE LEAVE" is his intimate and haunting debut album as a singer-songwriter, showcasing his abilites on lead vocals and a variety of musical instruments as well as his beautifully atypical string quartet arrangements.

Some highlights since the album's release include: .. * "I'M LEAVING" was featured in an episode of the TV show "ROYAL PAINS" .. * "FIREFLY" live performance on the Jerry Lewis Telethon as duet with Kristina Train .. * "FIREFLY" (featuring a duet with ROSANNE CASH) was set to original choreography by Andrea Kramer and premiered at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center as part of "The Butterfly Project", a children's cancer chartity. .. * "WEEPING WILLOW" was chosen as the opening track for the Cape May Singer-Songwriter Festival's 2010 Compilation CD .. * over a dozen Summer 2010 European Tour dates throughout Germany, Norway, + England, including 4 shows in London .. * selections from the CD used as exit music after Rod Stewart concerts in 2009 stadium tour .. * Sold-out CD Release Party concert at Joe's Pub in NYC ..
