Cory Seznecacoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica
Meanwhile, a multicultural household, extensive travels and musical encounters, and a passion for history exposed Cory to sounds from around the world, helping him to develop his own distinct style that reflects his broad interests. Some of his most memorable experiences in music include performing on Mississippi John Hurt's front porch in Mississippi and in a 13th century monastery in France. Cory received a masters degree in history from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and has a BA in history from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In February 2007, Cory was selected to be the recipient of a 2007 Maryland State Arts Council Award for Music Composition. |

Corentin "Cory" Seznec is a Franco-American musician born in France and raised both in Connecticut and on a family farm in Annapolis, Maryland. As a teenager, he discovered Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy, and Doc Watson records among his parents' dusty collection in the attic of their house, and it was then that a passion for pre-war blues, jazz, string and jug band music was born.
