Hailing from California’s Sierra Mountains, Corrine West spins tales with a voice part velvet and part grit that is both achingly penetrating and highly addictive. Her music has a cool, layered, yet kickin’ sound has has been referred to as “utterly spellbinding”, “radiant”, and “extraordinarily beautiful” by reviewers worldwide.
Her style combines the energy of rippin’ bluegrass, the nostalgia of American roots, the backbone of hard Country, and the smooth silky richness of traditional Folk.
Corinne West was the 2005 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition Finalist.
