Tennessee-raised, West Coast-seasoned. After eight years honing his live performance chops on the west coast, Corey James Clifton is back home, making waves as one of Nashville’s top rising artists and songwriters.

He leads a seasoned, high-impact act playing festivals, private events, venues, and rowdy college parties alike.

His sound blends soul, roots rock, and psychedelia. Bill Withers meets Chris Stapleton meets Lake Street Dive with Allman Brother’s-esque jams – the band delivers high-energy, unforgettable shows.

A multi-time Battle of the Bands winner, he is also a former co-writer and recording artist with Baxter House Music, a sync licensing company connected to over 20 billion global streams. His work includes collaborations with producers behind artists like OneRepublic, Tame Impala, and Arctic Monkeys.

Notable performances include the Tennessee Theatre, Fremont Friday Music Festival in Seattle, Saucers Over Appalachia Festival, Backwoods Music Festival – where he was a Road to Backwoods winner – University of Tennessee events and fraternities, consistent regional touring in Appalachia, and a headlining New Year’s Eve show in San Francisco. He is also a regional winner and finalist of the Tennessee Songwriter Competition.
