The Marbletones call themselves a Classic Rock band, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Right next to Tom Petty, you might find Elvis Costello. The Talking Heads, John Hiatt and the Jayhawks are mixed in with the Beatles and the Stones. Other artists covered are Van Morrison, the Kinks, the Stray Cats, and Weezer. You might hear Lynyrd Skynyard after Lou Reed, or David Bowie after Stevie Ray Vaughan. What you can be sure of is great songs done well. Each performance is a little different from the last, and the mix is always fun to listen (and sometimes dance) to.

Corey Comer
Sponsored by: The Arc
Introducing Corey Comer, singer, songwriter, musician, and producer of original music. He is based out of a small town called Newark NY. but trust me, his voice and stage presence is anything but small. The audience is immediately drawn in from the first note and his lyrics are simply Brilliant. He is influenced by such great soulful singers as David Ruffin of the Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Ottis Redding, and Sam Cooke, many of which are covered in his live performances. He quotes “Soulful music has taken a big loss recently with the passing of such great talents as Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Bobby Caldwell, and Bill Withers”. With such big name drops as these, it’s no wonder why they call him The Soulful Showman.
His approach to songwriting is timeless, his sound is breathtaking, and ladies, he’s easy on the eyes. From Country, Rock, Funk and Soul, his unique style can be heard distinctly in cover songs or in one of his originals.
He has performed before large crowds in the Buffalo, Rochester, and the Finger Lakes area. The venues are increasing, and his social media fan base is rapidly growing in popularity. Catch one of his live shows, you won’t be disappointed.
