Hope Cory is an artist who has transformed herself from a world-class jazz trombonist to a one-woman band (with accordion in hand).
"I grew up watching Lawrence Welk, which may or may not have anything to with this, but I freakin’ loved the tap dancing, the bubbles and the accordion," Cory says laughingly. "That was my jam when I was growing up…"
While teaching herself how to play accordion, Cory added her voice... and ultimately developed her own unique, self-contained show, as detailed in this excerpted interview from KGOU's The Weekend Blues.
(Interview features songs from Hope Cory's 2023 4-song EP "Bohemian Serenade")
