Darlin' Corey features the singing and playing of three accomplished Portland, ME musicians known for their engaging live performances and contributions to the East Coast music scene. Award-winning fiddler and singer Erica Brown on fiddle, guitar, and vocals; notable singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Shipman on guitar, vocals, mandolin, bouzouki, and banjo; and highly regarded bass player Kris Day.

Their music draws influences from North American traditional folk, old-time, and bluegrass from Appalachia to Eastern Canada. Matt and Erica's elegant vocal harmonies are the beating heart of their sound in both their original songs and unique blend of roots music they regularly showcase. In Darlin' Corey's singing and playing, you can feel the many years of dedication to these celebrated musical traditions. Soulful, genuine, and full of heart.

Erica Brown's fiddle-playing is at turns virtuosic and completely unpretentious. Matt Shipman is an ideal counterpart as his versatility on a dizzying array of stringed instruments (guitar, Irish bouzouki, 5-string banjo, mandolin) blends seamlessly, never timid or overpowering. Kris Day holds it all together with his solid bass playing.Recent highlights include performing original songs with The Bangor Symphony Orchestra and collaborations with music legends such as Tom Rush, Jonathan Edwards, Rani Arbo, Darol Anger, and John Reischman. Recently, Matt and Erica have also forayed into curating an annual music festival in partnership with The Chocolate Church called Cultural Crossroads.
