Cory Jackson

Arkansas-born Cory Jackson bridges the gap between modern country music and the classic sounds of the past. An independent singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Cory captivates audiences with his contemporary compositions and storytelling prowess.
 

Born in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in 1995, Cory’s rural upbringing deeply influences his music. Introduced to the guitar by his grandfather at 16, Cory began learning cover songs, which led to mastering a few chords and eventually trying his hand at songwriting. Fueled by dreams of a big-stage career that filled his thoughts during bus rides home from school, Cory quickly gained recognition for his talent. He released his first EP in 2015, followed by a series of singles available across all streaming platforms.
 

With a repertoire that includes artists like George Strait, John Michael Montgomery, Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Jon Pardi, Tim McGraw, John Anderson, Blake Shelton, Garth Brooks, Glen Campbell, Don Henley, and more, Cory’s performances seamlessly blend country classics with his fresh contributions to the genre. His career highlights include winning independent artist competitions, collaborating with WSM-650AM in Nashville, and earning the Arkansas Country Music Association’s "Country Artist of the Year" award in 2018.
 

Cory made waves with a memorable three-chair turn on NBC’s The Voice in 2019, joining Team Blake and further refining his craft under Blake Shelton’s mentorship. His music video "Put Some Country in Your Country" won "Video of the Year" at the 2022 Arkansas CMAs, while his single “Your Love” garnered a Top 5 nomination for “Song of the Year” in 2023. Most recently, Cory claimed the title of "Male Vocalist of the Year" at the 7th Annual ACMA’s, where he performed his original song “When the Needle Drops”.
 

Beyond accolades, Cory values connection with his audience, staying true to his roots while pushing the boundaries of country music. Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or commanding large stages, Cory’s ability to resonate with fans through heartfelt music remains unparalleled.
