What Is Corey Kent’s Favorite Holiday

Corey Kent played our QYK Guitar Pull this year.. Corey has had success recently with his song, "Wild As Her”. KC and Kathy talked to Corey backstage before the Guitar Pull.

Corey Kent is from the small town of Bixby, Oklahoma, but big-city energy of Dallas, Texas, and vocal prowess that rivals Nashville’s best. Corey started his journey in the music industry when he was just a kid.

At the age of 11, he took the stage as the lead singer for a touring Western Swing band. A few years later, he would be booking gigs around his hometown of Bixby, Oklahoma, and by 17, he made his way to Nashville.

The second fun fact is that he went to a Willie Nelson concert while he was in high school and ended up getting called up on stage to join Willie. That inspired him to start writing songs.

The third and final fun fact about Corey is that after the pandemic he ended moving to Texas and joined a paving crew to pay the bills.

Corey loves touring and performed over 100 shows in 2021. Along with headlining his shows and playing the top music festivals across the country, Corey has been the supporting act for artists including Parker McCollum, Cody Johnson, Chase Rice, Eli Young, Josh Abbott, Flatland Cavalry, and Kolby Cooper.

In 2020, Corey released his From the West LP, which garnered 3.5+ million aggregate streams and set the stage for his next chapter. His song “Gold” and fan favorite “Ain’t My Day has nearly 15 million streams combined. In December of 2021, Corey released his sophomore album, ’21.
