Korby Lenker: Idaho-born, longtime East Nashville resident Korby Lenker takes a lot of chances. He’s long been a heavy-touring, award-winning singer-songwriter; in 2015, he added published author to his resume, and now, as creator and star of a new scripted web-series called MORSE CODE Korby continues to take the definition of ‘independent creative’ and push it forward.

He doesn't just play it, he becomes it - or, maybe, it becomes a part of him.”

Even his approach to making records is unorthodox. Lenker recorded his latest batch of songs in his native Idaho, in various places important to him as a child - the Snake River Canyon, Craters of the Moon, and in a small cabin north of Sun Valley. Letting the natural landscape set the tone, he recorded during the day and slept in a tent at night. The result, Thousand Springs, earned, among other accolades, a 4 star review from MOJO Magazine, who dubbed his effort “Scintillating songwriting from a travellin’ man.”

Korby is the recipient of numerous songwriting awards - most recently a 1st place win at the 2016 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriters’ contest (past alum include Gregory Alan Isakov, Liz Longley and Deb Talan, to name a few). In March, NPR Music premiered the song and video he wrote and performed with Americana queen Nora Jane Struthers called 'Let's Just Have Supper.' Korby tours constantly and has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Ray Lamontagne, Nickel Creek and many others.
