How does a quietly intense singer-songwriter reconcile the weathered box of snapshots from his past that includes a mortician father in Idaho, snake-handling religious revivals in West Virginia and live performances ranging from burnished bluegrass standards to arcane Cure covers? If you happen to be Korby Lenker, you make sense of it all by conjuring music every bit as eclectic and compelling as the improbable path that lead you to the stage.
Yes, Korby does indie pop. But at the same time, his voice and pen are both profound enough to appeal to fans of Americana poet laureates like Willie Nelson, Steve Earle and Ray Lamontagne, all of whom he’s shared the stage with. Like Lenker himself, this music is intricate, multifaceted, heartfelt, brilliant.
His electrifying live performances swing effortlessly between moments of rocked-out abandon and intimate, aching tension. It all adds up to one of today’s most important new voices, as a growing legion of followers in North America and the U.K. can eagerly attest. One listen to his fifth self-produced work, Lovers and Fools, will leave no doubt. This is an artist with something to say.
Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the add!!! Stay in touch & if we are ever anywhere near you when we are on tour please come out to a show! We will be going everywhere in the upcoming year. And PLEASE request us at radio.

Hey blues eyes! Was thinking about you and mentioned you to a music blogger. Hoping she will be checking you out soon. Hope all is well. Any Memphis or Mississippi shows in the works?
I thought about you the other day, because I was talking to someone about how I could hear you and Willy Nelson playing from my house. And I realized how much I miss you.
Will you come back to Seattle soon? I miss you a ton, and would love to buy you a drink or two.
I haven't been on myspace in ages and to radomly see that you have reposted "leave the light on for me" and that you are coming to Dallas, has made me night! Can't wait to introduce my friends to your music!
