Featured Artist of the Week: Cori Yarckin

Since she is such a fabulous and caring local celebrity, there is no question that this week’s featured artist deserves to be honored for a second time in this column. With an edgier new direction, a fresh batch of songs, and a more complete tour schedule, it’s difficult just keeping up with this artist these days. Fresh off of a short tour with Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, Cori Yarckin is this week’s “Featured Artist”....... again!

By now, you should have been exposed to her extremely catchy new songs such as “One Day Too Late” and “Sucks to Be You,” just to name a few. If not, you truly are missing out on infectious earworms that just won’t stop running through your head. Her tougher and more mature sound and image has given her more of an overall appeal to the Orlando hard rock scene, where she seems to faring very well at the moment.

Last month, Cori was invited to perform on MTV’s TRL. She was selected as one of the artists dubbed “Under the Radar” and had the privilege of performing a half of a song in front of millions of viewers on national television. Not too many musicians have the opportunity to bask in such an honor like that and we are very proud of Cori for taking advantage of such a monumental event.

Cori will continue to tear up the stage this Friday night, June 6th at House of Blues Orlando. She will be appearing with the local phenomenon that is Between the Trees and national touring act Rookie of the Year. This should be quite an amazing show. Please come out to House of Blues to show your support to some of the best homegrown music to ever hit Central Florida.

Hope to see you all there.
