About Cort 

Cort’s the real thing, an original. He performs roots songs in a roots style without anything to hide behind or lean on and he’s picking up where the revival left off. His engaging presence and ease on stage comes across natural, refreshing and like a summer breeze and the audience can just sink into his lively story telling performances.

The songs on his latest CD “Sad Sorry Ass Folk Singer” demonstrate the creative diversity from one man as a songwriter. From satirical to political, romantic to hard edged, get up n go to social observances. Cort has an ability to create songs from a cellular level, he digs deep, finds the soul of the song and creates the interpretation. “Patches” will bring you to tears. “Clamshell Mainstage”, a song about the South Country Fair, won 3rd place in the Calgary Folk Fest Songwriting Competition in 2006. While Jughound, a song about “oil country” placed 2nd in 2007 both in the Best Song for Alberta Category.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of his latest CD, and over a cup of coffee listen to the music, read the lyrics and you too will think back to a time in the 60’s when the answer could be heard, “Blowin’ in the Wind”.
