So it’s been awhile since I’ve written a blogpost. Well, a
lot has happened. Let’s start at the beginning. After the rock band
Rhinocerotic burned up with parts flying everywhere, my trajectory shifted to a
solo musician mode. Now this was after a few years gun slinging guitar in the
DFlowers (Mercury Mayhem), playing quite a few open blues jams, and going
through a lot of heavy life experiences. This year is actually the 10th
anniversary of my first solo album MUSIC FROM EARTH. It’s been an interesting
10 years. I went from playing shows as a three piece band with the late melodious monster Timmy Wolf, Tracy Graff, the crazy and great Thundersticks, and the amazing and super cool John Owens III to
sequenced shows with my wife Liza. Currently I haven’t had the time to gig out
as myself due to joining the Midwest’s premiere U2 tribute band U2Zoo. That in
itself is a bizarre thing but has been a fun challenge so far. It’s pretty much
like show tunes man. I have to play a character and try to be convincing doing it.
This summer has brought some new opportunities and decisions
to make. Suddenly I went from U2Zoo and solo career into being a member of 4
bands! This seems like a bit much with a day job and a family but at this point
I’ll give it a go. These are all different genres, different crowds, and different
roles. Actually I don’t know if I’ve processed all of it yet but I’m dusting
off the guitar and getting ready to string again. As of this fall I’ll be releasing solo
material, the lead singer of U2Zoo, vocals and guitar in a new wave band (an
offshoot of U2Zoo) called 1st Wave, and lead vocal and guitar in the
infamous Blacktop Kings! It is sure to be a busy time but promises to be quite
an adventure. More info will be on the way so stay tuned and tell a friend to
sign up at www.timkorry.com to receive
show announcements and special edition free mp3’s periodically.
To mark the 10 year solo anniversary I will be releasing an
album of demo songs that were never released on any album. This is not a best
of and will be a very raw collection of demo material. I guess we can call it
alternative eh? These songs span actually from the dissolving of Rhinocerotic (roughly
around 2000) into the current decade. I’m curious to see the reaction to this
very unpolished yet sonically quirky mix of tunes….
