How does a quietly intense singer-songwriter reconcile the weathered box of snapshots from his past that includes a mortician father in Idaho, snake-handling religious revivals in West Virginia and live performances ranging from burnished bluegrass standards to arcane Cure covers? If you happen to be Korby Lenker, you make sense of it all by conjuring music every bit as eclectic and compelling as the improbable path that lead you to the stage.

Yes, Korby does indie pop. But at the same time, his voice and pen are both profound enough to appeal to fans of Americana poet laureates like Willie Nelson, Steve Earle and Ray Lamontagne, all of whom he’s shared the stage with. Like Lenker himself, this music is intricate, multifaceted, heartfelt, brilliant.

His electrifying live performances swing effortlessly between moments of rocked-out abandon and intimate, aching tension. It all adds up to one of today’s most important new voices, as a growing legion of followers in North America and the U.K. can eagerly attest.

PRESS REVUES:

"The kind of singer and songwriter who can jolt things into overdrive."
- NEW YORK TIMES

"...raucous and jubilant...somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Michelle Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters." ,
- ROLLING STONE.com

Why Michelle Malone hasnt knocked the likes of Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt off of their roots-rock and blues pedestals blows the mind. Maloneʼs authentic interpretation of good old Southern rock and hard-edge blues should have her rubbing shoulders with the Allman Brothers and Buddy Guys of the world. Sugarfoot and Stompinʼ Ground, are rousing and relentless toe-tapping beauties deserving of a boatload of attention.
– THE VILLAGE VOICE

"4 out of 5 Bunnies "... on this loose and blues-stoked new album, the rough-and-tumble Malone embraces her inner Keith Richards while churning up those Southern roots with the vigor of Lucinda Williams." " - PLAYBOY Magazine

"Her lyrics ripple with Dylanish imagery and a fierce will to survive." - MADEMOISELLE MAGAZINE

"as raw, magnificent, dirty and low down as anything you'll ever want to hear in blues music - our blues-breaker CD for the week"
- Dan "Elwood" Akroyd, House of Blues Radio Hour

”A proper American cocktail that’s best drunk straight up.”
- BILLBOARD

“Whether moanin’ at midnight and howlin’ at the delta moon, or serving up a steamy blend of Tom Pettyesque twang-pop and Creedence Clearwater choogle, Malone’s the sexiest, most swaggering-est gal rocker on the goddam planet right now. “
- BLURT MAGAZINE

"Michelle Malone may have the best voice you've ever heard."
-PASTE MAGAZINE

"She's mastered all the tools of the trade and destined for greatness. A refreshing surprise of an album."
