Gary Cornelius
(contact Gary)

The music of Gary Cornelius comes from the heartland of North America.  For twenty-five years, Gary has written songs of the common people: songs of hope, love, sadness, heartbreak, regret and the human spirit.


His melodies are unforgettable; his lyrical talent is unmistakable.  International critics have hailed his "first class songwriting" as "intelligent", "heartfelt", "honest" and, at times, painfully personal.  His storytelling is classic in both content and style.Gary is a genuine American songwriter who has traveled from his native Kentucky throughout North America weaving his powerful mixture of folk and country songs with a vocal style that is best described as strong, soulful, clean and pleasant.


This is not a slick overproduced, contemporary Nashville country artist.  Cornelius quickly dispels this with his "straight ahead", gutsy, traditional folk and country approach that has drawn comparisons to such great artists as Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Paul Siebel, and, yes, even Neil Young.
