Recognized by MTV, CNN, Billboard, Guitar Magazine, and more, the band was known for its innovative live shows, powerful songwriting, and boundary- pushing performances-all before the era of streaming and social media, when every note was about live energy and connection.

Suzi Kory Bio
‘A lusciously arranged ballad reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt’s glorious country roots’ is how FYI Music News recently described Canadian country-rock artist Suzi Kory's latest ballad 'Settle of the Dust'. Considering Kory possesses the lyrical vulnerability and glistening vocals of Emmylou Harris, while maintaining the powerful delivery of Ronstadt it comes as no surprise that alongside Dolly Parton she cites these country queens as her biggest musical influences.
Born in Beirut, Kory's parents moved the family to Toronto when she was eight months old. Her mother, a devoted fan of country music would continuously play classic country, and Kory found herself singing along. By her teens, she became exposed to hard rock, most notably Guns N’ Roses.
