Recognized for his high-speed improvisational skills, fun-loving performance spirit, and a flexible right wrist, guitarist Cory Wong had a multifaceted music career in his base of Minneapolis, Minnesota before becoming better known for regular guest spots as rhythm guitarist for R&B/funk outfit Vulfpeck in the mid-2010s
His album The Lucky One (2023, is his fourth solo album. Featuring guest appearances from a multitude of collaborators, including LA based jazz-funk multi-instrumentalist Louis Cole and UK YouTube star Dodie, The Lucky One is a soulful, funk-fueled 13-track collection presented in Wong’s now signature style – a seamless blend of genres, prodigious guitar playing, irrepressible energy and an innate knack for a hook.
“Most of the albums I’ve made have all been recorded live in a room or on the set of my YouTube variety show,” says Wong. “This time around I wanted to have a more controlled and isolated studio environment that really showcases more of my chops as a producer. The spirit of this album is in collaboration, and I’m thrilled to have some of my favorite artists on this album as collaborators.”
