I was going through my footage last night, and I found this, which was definitely an interesting rendition AND you get to see Cory really ‘wowing’ the crowd. A little politics. A little Pop Culture. Some clarification. Some shout-outs.

Enjoy!

Cory is addicted to twitter…so if you are so inclined, you can find him here:

http://twitter.com/Corybranan

Admittedly, it’s really fun to read it!

If you are out there, this is where Cory is! Lots of square states…some Canada…all over really!

New record sounds incredible by the way. I’ll see if I can get some clearance to put a track up for ya…but only if you comment that that is what you would like to happen. So comment.

Have a blessed day!

Management

Oh, but they did. Who is throwing down? Nothing less than some of the most talented singers, songwriters, and country acts these parts has to offer…and Mr. Branan is one of the fine selected few! Fortunately for you, they are headed your way, in a big way!

C O U N T R Y T H R O W D O W N

He’ll see ya in one of those places!

…a hot, injection, of some Cory Branan! It’s been sometime in the making, but, thanks to Suburban Home Records, you can get some Cory fresh off the boat…or the train…or whatever is in Denver, Colorado these days. So, Suburban Home records is the Suburban Home of many of MY PERSONAL favorite artists, not limited to, Jon Snodgrass, Drag the River, Two Cow Garage, Austin Lucas, Tim Barry…the list goes on and on.

What does all this have to do with Cory? Well, you should firstly, check out this link:

Suburban Homes Record Special

This is a link to the full stream player where you can hear Jon and Cory, tearing it up, the only way they know how? Curious about ‘The Walkaround’…well, it’s on there. The next link here is where to buy this lovely record. I am told that all vinyl comes with a free download and the vinyl is available in sun colored and moon colored! How awesome is that?

BUY ME!!!!

Cobras. Wolves. Oh my! In case you forget how awesome they are…see below!

All the best,

Management

Here we are…end of June. Cory has finished up a majority of his second record out on the West Coast and is currently with Jon Snodgrass making the rounds all over the southeast.

And if none of that is ‘doing’ it for you…well, here’s a sneak peek of a song I’ve heard played only once, now twice. This might tide you over for a spell!

Love you all,

Management.

How does one give back to the people who actually come here and visit? Tricky question, I know. What if I told you, I was bringing you a brand new song for Christmas, from one Mr. Cory Branan? That’d be super awesome good, right? WHAT IF, I told you that in addition, yes, I said addition, I was going to give you something super duper special. Something on the order, of super secret even? Well, I’m giving you that too, and we are going away on break until the New Year. If you want to share this with friends, please do. If you want to keep it yourself, hey, I understand that too! You guys are awesome. Have a fun and safe holiday, and you know, feel free to stop in and say hello, post a comment, and let us know you are still alive.

Muchas Lovas,

Management

Yep. You read that right. Cory went to Alaska and the whole diner fell to crap. Some virus-buggy-glitch thing killed it. We think is was Hamass…or NBC. Hard to say, really. All I know, is that it was kinda like the ‘Hot Zone’ but, on the internet, and with a cool sounding alt-folk-country soundtrack.

We tried to contact Cory desperately with Smoke Signals and Carrier Pidgeons, but, Alaska is an awful far ways to travel for birds, let alone, smoke. Some one came up with the idea, I believe it was Boogie, to text him. We did. He mobilized, and got stuff done. He used his cell phone to hack into the mainframe and did battle with MPC (Master Control Program), raced a motorcycle across the grid, then came back to reality and blew up the offending bunker with a bazooka.

For real.

More on NBC later.

Love you all,

and welcome back to the fold.

Management.

You have spoken. We have listened. In order to bring you eggs without hair in them, and sweet tea without fingers, the videos will now be in ‘play-as-you-go’ thanks to all your comments. Thank you so much for them. I’m pretty much a post it up, and leave it up, then change it. Didn’t realize it was such as hassel and I do greatly apologize.

Well, on to the good stuff. Please check the dates at Cory’s Myshrine to see some exciting stuff. One of the most exciting moments for me is that he is playing with J. Roddy Walston and the Business in Nashville AND Memphis dates. If you can make it out there, you will not soon regret the rock and roll awesomeness that is Mr. Branan and the Business. On a serious note, J Roddy and them have single handedly renewed my faith that real Rock and Roll is possible. Here’s a non-autoplaying video for you if you want to check out what is to come:

And for those of you who haven’t seen a good Homemade Cory Video in a while, this one should tickle you.

And the first 5 people to write a cory themed hiaku will get an mp3 of my choosing via email.

All the best,

Management

Sorry for the long delay of posting, etc. I’ve been in San Francisco on business all of last week. Saw the bay where hearts get washed up on black rocks, and the like. Beautiful…chilly. All in all, very nice.

Yeah, I’d love to get right down to the nitty gritty viddy, but, there is some buzz in the Branan Camp. There is said to possibly be some sort of television spot kind of thing in the works. The likeliness of this happening is kinda slim, but, it’s still to my knowledge, a possibility. So those of you who know about the VH1 show several years back (and if you don’t, surprise there was a pilot!) I’m currently working on getting that up here in time, and we could possibly see something of the same ilk ‘fore too long.

Those of you who are going to Mucklewain, please be safe and have fun. Get some videos, mp3s, pictures, whatever…and send them on in!

So, with permission, and get it while it lasts…Cory on Carson:

On a related note, I’d like to know how you feel about the autoplay feature. So please comment either positively or negatively. Doesn’t matter to me much, but, if it’s annoying, or you like it, make a comment.

All the best,

management.

*PS - A big shout out to Wayne Voit for fighting the good fight with the crazies over at some other message board that wouldn’t know what good music was if it was killing their ficus tree while simultaneously pouring sugar in their gas tank.

My sincerest apologies for not updating lately. But, I’ll do my best to give it a good go here.

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the ‘Beat It’ cover. Namely because it’s not the full version with the Eddie V. Solo, and secondly, incase the thrilling picture of M.J. was such that it sent you into childhood flashbacks, thriller jackets, and old school MTv.

Secondly, the ladies at Hardcore Troubadours have put up a Brew City-ish podcast complete with Ben Nichols and Cory Branan. Give them much love, if you haven’t already. If you haven’t been there, then please, check it out!

Thirdly, BoogieMann himself, found a site that had some Cory Branan tabs on it, right HERE.

Fourthly, but not leastly, here’s another video of a fiddlish ho-down, with Cory Branan and Sarah Mann playing ‘Sour Mash’.

Cory Branan…Ben Nichols…tour…southeast. Jackson, MS to Louisville, KY…between May 30th to June 10th…hitting several places in-between…including Memphis…Nashville. You heard it here first.
