Nowhere or Bust!

About Me

My name is Cory, I play in or have been in a bunch of bands here in the Sacramento area (The Compound, Broken Promises, 3FF, Cover Me Baad, Bloodsport and others) and I wanted to have a place to put put up the songs that I play alone. Most of time when I write a song it starts out acoustic and by the time I bring to the table to be played full band it has to be changed. Sometimes you can't even tell it's the same song, other times I will write something that doesn't fit at all or I may just want it to stay acoustic for whatever reason.....These are those songs!
I've got tons and tons of music, so hopefully sometime I will get around to actually doing some decent recordings...We shall see.
I have been playing shows few and far between, but playing them none the less and trying to do my best at having fun.
For now these songs will help you get the idea of what I write and not give you an idea of what it sounds like full band...You'll have to come see The Compound for that shit. This is me alone or with friends, acoustic and most likley intoxicated. Keep checking this myspace page for more news on what is going on and I hope you enjoy the songs. Cory
