GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and guitarist extraordinaire Cory Wong has joined forces with GRAMMY® Award-winning bluegrass guitarist Billy Strings for an all-new collaboration. “Road Trip (Feat. Billy Strings)” premieres today at all DSPs and streaming services. An official live performance video – originally featured earlier this week in the latest episode of Wong’s inventive online musical variety series, Cory and the Wongnotes – is streaming now at YouTube.
“Road Trip (Feat. Billy Strings)” marks the latest collaborative track release from Wong’s explosive new album, POWER STATION, available now at all DSPs and on limited edition 12” Double Black Vinyl (33 rpm). Hailed by AllMusic for its “brightly organic crossover vibe,” the highly charged jazz-funk collection sees Wong joined by an all-star array of special guests including Big Wild, Chromeo, Béla Fleck, Sierra Hull, Victor Wooten, Larry Carlton, Nate Smith, and more.
PURCHASE POWER STATION (LIMITED-EDITION VINYL)
Wong has celebrated Power Station in recent weeks via the star-studded second season of Cory and the Wongnotes, streaming now via the Minneapolis, MN-based artist’s hugely popular YouTube channel. Created and hosted by the seemingly inexhaustible Wong, new episodes debut every Tuesday, showcasing live performances, original sketch comedy, special guests, interviews, and much more. 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 musical collaborations.
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.
