Cory Wilkins

Cory Wilkins, singer, songwriter and guitarist, has a powerful, soulful voice and a unique guitar style drawn from his blues and rock roots.

Blind since birth, he has actively pursued music all his life as self-taught drummer, guitarist, and songwriter who began his musical career at 14 years old, playing drums in New Hampshire clubs.

Since then, Wilkins relocated to Southern California where he recorded his most recent album San Diego Summer, assembled his current band, including his sister, Laura, on drums, and has been performing regularly at top venues throughout San Diego, Orange County, and L.A.

Wilkins has independently released four CD’s, most recently San Diego Summer, which hit the shelves on August 30th, Turn Up The Band, plus the single Free, in 2004, and Brave The Rain, in 2000.  Watch for the newest CD coming soon. 

Wilkins has received accolades from representatives of Sony Records and Capitol Records; “This is a band that everybody needs to hear!”, says Tom Long of Sony.

The San Diego Weekly Reader says "With a penchant for weighty lyricism, singer/ songwriter Cory Wilkins does rock, country, pop, and blues ... behind the solid vocal performance are tight musicianship and catchy tunes."

Named one of San Diego’s top 5 bands and 2006 recipient of 3 LA Music Awards, including Rock Album of the Year for San Diego Summer, Breakthrough Album of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year, Wilkins’ high energy good old rock and roll shows have people taking notice.
