the hawkeyes jay wiley of the hawkeyes joins corey. this band is a great blend of alt-country/americana and rock and roll. Drawing upon the storytelling traditions of roots and country music, they write songs with an anarchic sensibility, biting humor, and phrases that turn on a dime, while their live performances are marked by a lot of sweat, a little blood, and an occasional busted guitar. corey has performed with jay and you can take his word that he is truly a great guy and musician. http://www.facebook.com/#!/hawkeyesband
