James Corbin with guest Stuart Oliver: Country-Americana LIVE in the Roots
James Corbin is a combat veteran, storyteller, and prolific songwriter. He released four albums “Dichotomy,” “Dahlonega Days,” and “Live From the Hoag Auditorium” while in college. Shortly after 9/11 and graduation, he went into the U.S. Army as where he deployed to Iraq three times. Those combat tours were the impetus behind his record, “From Baghdad to Bisbee” which comprised songs he wrote while there. James’ new record, James’ newest release, “Where the Roots Raise the Road” was released in 2024 and provides another motley collection of powerful, funny, and poignant songs that all can relate to. Accompanying James on stage will be the incredibly talented musician, songwriter, and producer Stuart Oliver. Originally from Dahlonega, Stuart now resides in Tucson, Arizona where he writes, produces, performs, and teaches music professionally.
“James is a captivating performer. He is a master at engaging a crowd and drawing them in. His songs move you to tears. They also make you laugh hysterically. Most importantly, they always make you feel more human and understood. A live show with James is a true experience into the mind, heart, and humor of a truly gifted storyteller.” Molly Kummerle, critically acclaimed DJ, vocalist, and jazz artist.
Born in rural North Georgia and based in Southern Arizona, Stuart Oliver is a multi award-winning, Billboard charting singer-songwriter and record producer. His songs explore themes of nature, spirituality and love spanning the spectrum from humorous to heart-wrenching. In 2022, Oliver founded Desert Myth, a Tucson-based art collective promoting creativity as a sacred act that enriches our cultural myth.
