Montréal, QC

Montreal’s Corey Gulkin has had a lot of ups and downs since being recognized as the 2013 laureate of the John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize. From musical explorations of an abusive relationship to a neck injury that hindered their ability to play guitar, the indie singer-songwriter’s music has gone many tender places. Something of a genre chameleon, latest album Half Moon is a great showcase for their divine pipes and knotty guitar playing.
