“Crisis (Feat. Big Wild)” marks the latest track release from Wong’s much anticipated new album, POWER STATION, arriving Friday, April 29; pre-saves are available now. The album – which sees featured appearances from many of his Cory and the Wongnotes guests – includes the first single, “Power Station,” available at all DSPs and streaming services; an official music video is streaming now at YouTube.
Created and hosted by the seemingly inexhaustible Wong, Cory and the Wongnotes began its second season earlier this week with IMITATION (Feat. Big Wild), streaming now via the Minneapolis, MN-based artist’s hugely popular YouTube channel. New episodes showcasing live performances, original sketch comedy, special guests, interviews, and much more will debut every Tuesday. A consummate reflection of Wong’s outsized vision and unstoppable passion for music, comedy, performance, and conversation, the new season of Cory and the Wongnotes will feature extended episodes showcasing long-form interviews, fresh new sketches, and unprecedented collaborations with musical guests including Chromeo, Billy Strings, Victor Wooten, Bela Fleck, Lindsay Ell, Mark Lettieri, Sierra Hull, Larry Carlton, Joey Dosik, and Nate Smith.
Recently named by none other than Steve Vai in Guitar World as one of “5 Contemporary Guitarists Who Are Taking The Instrument To The Next Level,” Wong is currently traveling the world performing a typically varied array of live dates, including sold-out headline shows, festival sets, and much more. North American dates begin April 29 with two very special late-night sets at New Orleans, LA’s Republic NOLA as part of the 9th Annual Nolafunk Series During Jazz Fest. Additional dates will be announced. For complete details and remaining ticket availability, please see www.corywongmusic.com/tour.
