CORY CHISEL AND THE WANDERING
SONS

Like many artists before him, Wisconsin based
singer-songwriter Cory Chisel, first connected with
the power of song – and the spellbinding
possibilities of live performance – through the
music he heard in church as the son of a Baptist
minister. The gospel’s rich vernacular of loss and
redemption also informed his innate poetic sense
and lyrical range.

Mockingbird, Chisel’s forthcoming album is
plainspoken, intimate and soulful, Chisel’s songs
have an unadorned, lived-in beauty, free from
clutter and pretense. The album was produced by
Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The
Shins, The White Stripes) and features members
of The Raconteurs and My Morning Jacket.
Mockingbird will be released in July and follows up
Cory Chisel & the Wandering Sons’ 2008 live EP
Cabin Ghosts, which Chisel co-produced with Tony
Berg.
