Hailing from the small town of South Mountain Ontario, Canada, Cory Mervin Coons has been writing, recording and playing music for over 15 years.  His influences range from early rock n' roll, folk, and popular artists like The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and in later years John Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Bret Michaels, Bon Jovi, and Styx.

Cory recorded his first full length cd "Tycoons", and has enjoyed performing live for audiences all across Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and New York State.  Cory's many accomplishments include having his musical interlude "Round The World"  used as a background soundtrack for a promotional video for a world leading Canadian technology company.

With the Release of "From The Ground Up", Cory puts forth a strong collection of Roots Rock songs with a down to earth honesty and realness that touches home with hard hitting soulful melodies, and strong catchy rhythms.  His first single release to Canadian radio titled "Crumbs" has been aired on several stations.  He has also opened for "Prairie Oyster", and "April Wine".
