Cory M Coons is a professional independent performer, musician and award

winning & nominated songwriter. With 30 years of performing and working in

music, he has been

passionate about music since his early teens as a guitar player/bassist &

vocalist in High School. He began recording his own unique melodies and musical

ideas while travelling and performing in a variety of very popular cover bands

throughout the mid-to-late 90's in both Ontario and the United States, with

stints in well known local high-energy acts such as “Heads Or Tales” and “Shake

The Tree”, as well as the band “U.S”, (in which he toured most of the South

Eastern United States in 1998’). Then later formed his own Classic-Melodic Rock

influenced namesake “Tycoons”, releasing two independent recordings and

performing throughout Eastern Ontario, Northern NY State, and Quebec in the

early 2000’s. His

work with famed legendary record producer Ron Nevison, has earned him industry

recognition from the Los Angeles Music Awards, the Producer’s Choice Honors, The

Josie Music Awards, International Singer-Songwriter Association and the Radio

Music Awards, among others. With a catalog that boasts several

critically-acclaimed full length albums and EPs, as well as a handful of

well-received singles. Since 2004’, Cory has officially released 4 full length albums and 2 E.p’s,

(with another recent E.p released in 2020), featuring the singles "Leavin" and

"Good Times Gone". He recently released a previous album "The Long Road Home" in

2018, produced by Multi-Platinum Veteran Music Producer Ron Nevison, (Heart, Bad

Company, Damn Yankees, Survivor, Styx, Night Ranger), along with fellow band

mate & guitarist/engineer Marc D. Muir. The album was nominated in 2019 for

"Male Album Of The Year" at one of the biggest Independent Award Shows in North

America, the "Josie Music Awards", as well as 4 nominations at the 2020 JMA's,

and 3 more at the 2021 JMA's. Cory also earned a nomination at the 2021

"International Singer Songwriter Association" (ISSA) Awards in 2021 for

"International Male Vocalist of the Year". His latest E.p "33.3" and previous

album "The Long Road Home" were released on MTS Records, along with the "Share A

Little Time" (E.p) and a re-issue of the "Retrospective" compilation (spanning

1999' - 2010'). The single "Leavin" was released early in 2020, and the follow

up single "Good Times Gone" was released in June of 2020, from the recent Ep

"33.3". Recently, in December 2020, Cory released “Burning Bright at Christmas

Time” on MTS Records. The enchanting blend of acoustic guitar and sleigh bells

captured the spirit of the holiday, and Coons’ melodic sensibilities remain

intact with another rootsy release that feels at home next to his finest

releases. “Burning Bright” also featured Coons’ (at the time, 6-year-old

daughter) Charleigh, on backing vocals, giving the track a real family touch.

Another independent single "Far Away" was released in early 2021, which also

featured Charleigh Lynn Coons (now 7) on backing harmonies on the track.

Currently his latest single "Freedom Road" drops on Oct 1st. Cory was also named Best Rock Songwriter for “Long Road (Dead Man’s Dream)”

and Best Americana Artist for “Once Too Many, Twice Not Enough” at the 2018

"Radio Music Awards" on The Indie Music Channel, as well as a "World Songwriting

Awards Finalist" in 2019 for the single "Would You Stay". Check out Cory's music on his website at www.corymcoons.com
