Mixes the twang of country music with the hard-hitting stomp of rock & roll.
His songs are rooted in the influence of Cory's hometown, where he grew up surrounded by the salt-of-the-earth residents
of North Bay, Ontario. It was there where he began playing drums at ten years old.
Whenever he wasn't banging along to songs by Deep Purple, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rush, he was listening to his parents'
country records, developing a deep appreciation for outlaws like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard.
Those two genres — classic country and amped-up rock — would eventually join forces in Marks' own music,
earning him a string of gigs with heavyweights like Toby Keith and Brantley Gilbert along the way.
Cory has built a strong following not only in Canada, but also in America, where he has been
recording with award-winning producer, Kevin Churko. Along with Kevin’s
son Kane – the Juno Award-winning producer and songwriter, the three of them worked together
in Churko's Las Vegas studio, capturing the energy and electricity of Cory's live show
