WHAT IT IS: Corey Kent finds himself musically at the intersection of rock-infused country, heartland values and red-dirt grit. Kent, who’s still in his 20s, built his fan base while spending 15 years developing his live show and has positioned himself to become one of country’s next breakout artists. Drawing inspiration from the Eagles, Keith Richards and Turnpike Troubadours, among others, Kent is building an undeniable stage presence with his bandana-wearing rock & roll spirit.
