Kort McCumber

Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Kort McCumber, weaves a rich and diverse tapestry of musical experience, skill and energy into each and every one of his many musical endeavors. His latest CD, Lickskillet Road, features appearances from Vince Gill, Sally Van Meter, and Don Conoscenti. Kort has received many accolades including his most recent accomplishment, winning the Flat Rock Music Festival Songwriting Competition in September for his song “I’m Sorry” released on his …After the Rain CD.

Kort writes, plays and sings Americana music - equal parts folk, country, bluegrass, and blues with a healthy dose of something fresh. After moving to Colorado in 2004, the music took a decidedly more country bluegrass turn and dug deeper into the roots of his Scotch-Irish heritage.

He lives with his wife Amy and their two dogs, Guinness & Nugget, “on top of the world at the bottom of Lickskillet Road,” just west of Boulder Colorado. If you spent a moment by the river you’d wonder why he ever leaves. But, thankfully, he does, bringing his musical verve to venues far and wide.

His new DVD, Live Licks from The Boulder Theater, is available now.
