Like notable musicians before him, singer-songwriter Cory Chisel forged his first connection to the power of song through the music he heard – and made - in church. An upbringing surrounded by sermons and spirituals instilled in Chisel the passion and portent of language and melody, and a fluency in the gospel music's rich vernacular of loss and redemption.
