Kort
McCumber Singer/Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist
Singer-songwriter
Kort McCumber weaves a rich and diverse
tapestry of musical experience, skill
and energy into each and every one of
his many musical endeavors. A classically
trained pianist & cellist
(he learned from his mom, Joy Myers, who played for
the Jacksonville Symphony for more than two decades)
today Kort plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica,
piano, bouzouki, cello and more.
Over the last ten years Kort honed his skills as
a working musician playing more than 1000 live shows
throughout the U.S. and Europe .
His first CD released in 1999 and he is currently
putting the finishing touches on his sixth project, " Lickskillet
Road ", featuring appearances from Vince
Gill, Sally Van Meter, Don Conoscenti and
more. Each CD offers a glimpse into the life and
musical direction of a blossoming singer-songwriter.
The newest CD is proof positive that if one stays
true to their passion, great things ensue.
Kort writes, plays and sings Americana - equal parts
folk, country, blues and bluegrass, with a healthy
dose of something fresh. After moving to Colorado
in 2004, the music took a decidedly more country/bluegrass
turn and dug deeper into the roots of his Scotch-Irish
heritage. Those roots are evident as well in his
golf game. Kort played collegiate golf at UVA and
Florida . Sister Beth Wilberger, who plays fiddle
and sings harmonies with Kort, also played collegiate
golf but at Florida State . His Father Jim owns McCumber
Golf, a worldwide leader in course design and operations
and Uncle Mark spent nearly 30 years on the PGA Tour,
playing today on the Senior Tour.
Kort lives with his wife Amy and their two dogs,
Guinness and Nugget, "on top of the world at the
bottom of Lickskillet Road" just west of Boulder,
Colorado . If you spent a moment by the river
you'd wonder why he ever leaves. But, thankfully,
he does, bringing his musical verve to venues far
and wide. If you're lucky, you'll catch it soon at
a venue near you. |
