Cory Jackson

Bridging the gap between today’s modern country and the timeless sounds of the genre’s golden era, Cory Jackson is an independent singer, songwriter, and entertainer whose performances combine faith, heart, and true country storytelling.

​

Born in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in 1995, Cory’s rural upbringing continues to shape both his sound and his spirit. Introduced to the guitar by his grandfather at 16, he began by learning classic cover songs before discovering his own gift for songwriting. Fueled by big-stage dreams on small-town bus rides, Cory quickly gained local recognition for his talent and authenticity.

​

He released his first EP in 2015, followed by a series of singles across all streaming platforms—many featuring his own songwriting. Over the years and thousands of performances later, Cory has honed his ability to connect with audiences of all ages. His set lists blend the classics of George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Glen Campbell with modern country favorites and original songs that reflect his faith, family values, and genuine country soul.

​

• Top 5 placement in Snag-a-Job’s 2015 national online competition for the opportunity to open for Brett Eldredge

• Top 5 Song of the Year Nominee (2023) for “Your Love”

• 2024 Arkansas CMA “Male Vocalist of the Year”, performing his original “When the Needle Drops”

​

Whether performing a laid-back acoustic set or a high-energy full-band show, Cory brings an authentic connection that leaves every audience feeling part of the music.

​

Beyond the stage, Cory remains deeply engaged with his growing community through Cory’s Country Club, his social platforms, and his podcast “Coffee with Cory,” where he blends faith, music, and life lessons.
