Corey recently played at a party I hosted and he was the highlight of the day. He was professional, on time, friendly and extremely talented. I would hire him over and over again! In fact - what is an excuse to have another party so I can 😉

Haha thanks so much Ashley! I'd be happy to play at one of your parties any time- you know how to throw a good one!
We hired Corey to play at my 50th birthday. He was great with his music he selected and everyone enjoyed. I had a friend join him to sing a sing together and was a great sport with that. I would recommend Corey and look forward to booking him again.

Corey performed for us at a surprise 50th birthday party and absolutely made the night! Not only is he super friendly, but he is also very talented, and accommodating to the music choices/energy of the event/appropriate sound levels etc.
We would highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a live musician for their event!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Courtney! It was great working with you guys and I'm so glad everyone had a good time!
I hired Corey for my wife’s 50th birthday party last year at a small bar and he was exactly what we were hoping for. Great musician, can play to any crowd, fun, flexible and really easy to work with. After 3 hours the party was supposed to end but was still going strong. I extended the open bar and if I could pay him another hour to keep playing and he happily did with no repeat songs! If you are looking for a musician for a party look no further

Corey played for me for a cocktail party I had at my house for about 25 people. He was very good and professional. The guests requested a number of songs throughout the night and he was able to play all of them. I would highly recommend him.

Thanks Jeff! The party was a blast. Always fun when the crowd sings along. Hope to work together again soon!
Corey came to our wedding in a brewery to play acoustic music throughout the event. His performance could be described as nothing less than phenomenal. He had an incredible singing voice and played amazing music throughout the event. He had our guest dancing and constantly complimenting our choice to hire Corey for the event. If we have another event that requires someone to come play music, I know Corey will be at the top of the list for entertainers I would want to come.

Corey is an awesome professional, and did an amazing job at my 50th birthday party! He took requests for songs he didn’t even know, and played them perfectly the first time through. My guests loved him, and I’ll definitely be hiring him again. Thanks Corey!

Thanks Matt! The party was a blast and it was a pleasure working with you. Looking forward to doing it again in the future!
There aren’t enough good things to say about Corey! He performed at our wedding ceremony and after party and was an absolute hit. He not only was so professional and friendly but was an absolute joy to have apart of our wedding festivities. We had asked Corey to perform a special song at our ceremony and he knocked it out of the park - it brought at least half the church to tears (myself included!!). All our friends and family were SO impressed - I don’t think anyone else could have made our wedding weekend as special as he did!

I hired Corey to do a two hour set for my bridal shower and would highly recommend! Corey was friendly and very professional the entire time, and on the day of, he performed a well rounded mix of genres/artists that my guests really enjoyed.

Thanks so much for the kind words Vanessa! I had a great time playing at your shower. It's not often I get to break out the Enrique Iglesias songs! 😄
We hired Corey for an Octoberfest-themed neighborhood party. It is not an exaggeration to say he made the party the success it was! Prior to the gig, Corey was responsive and friendly and addressed all of our questions. He arrived promptly for setup. Corey was interactive and friendly with our guests, and accommodating with requests. Not only did he play popular covers that our crowd loved, he is a talented songwriter in his own right and treated us to some of his own original music as well! The group so enjoyed his music that we extended him beyond the original set time (which he was more than willing to do). We would wholeheartedly recommend him, and look forward to the opportunity to book him again ourselves!

Working with Corey was such an easy and joyful process. He was quick to respond to emails and worked with us to fine tune the details of our ceremony music. He took our requests, even learning new songs just for us, and offered his own suggestions and expertise when we needed feedback. Our guests were so impressed with the ambiance he set for one of the most special parts of our day. Could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Corey!

We hired Corey to do our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and from day one he was absolutely outstanding . His timeliness on communication months before the event were 1st class as he immediately would get back to me . We asked him to set up in 2 different locations for the ceremony and cocktail hour and he was able to Make it work. His performance at the ceremony was outstanding . He played our songs we wanted at the exact time we wanted and he rocked it! At cocktail hour we let him play whatever songs he wanted and he didn't disappoint as the guests at cocktail hour stated several times how good he was. He set the tone of what was an amazing night.

Mark, thanks so much for the kind words. It was truly a pleasure working with you guys from the beginning and I’m glad I could help make your big day so special. All the best to you two.
Corey is amazing. We asked Corey to play several roles at our wedding. We wanted someone who could both be a live singing guitarist as well as a DJ and MC. There are not enough stars in this review to describe the job Corey did. Corey is awesome. For the several months leading up to the wedding he was extremely professional and would keep in contact to answer any questions we had. From day 1 he truly cared about every little detail and wanted to ensure our day was perfect. We were incredibly impressed with his professionalism, enthusiasm, and general caring he showed leading up to the event. And once at the wedding he was an absolute star. He showed up extremely prepared and was extremely diligent and wanted to make the night perfect. And he did! While generally only a singer- he wore several hats at our wedding and excelled at all. The guests loved him. Not only is he an awesome singer who grabs everyone's attention, he did an awesome job doubling as an MC and DJ of our wedding. He even did a surprise live song with my husband who he helped coordinate with by playing the guitar while my husband song. I would recommend Corey to everyone and anyone, you will not find anyone better.

We hired Corey for a store event / party, and he was great. Punctual, friendly, great attitude and - most importantly - very talented! He sang and played guitar for a four hour evening, and we overheard many wonderful comments. I would definitely hire him again, and recommend to all!

He went above and beyond in accommodating our requests and answering our questions. He is clearly very conscientious and would make any event entertaining and fun.

About
In May of 2013, singer-songwriter Corey Lewin traded in his briefcase for a guitar…and never looked back.
Then a recent college graduate living in Washington, D.C., Corey soon found himself feeling unhappy and unfulfilled with his new career in the political world. Wondering what to do next, he wrestled with the idea of pursuing his lifelong love for music. Could he really throw away a stable career path to chase his dreams? For Corey, the risk was worth the reward. He packed his bags and headed to New York City to begin his next chapter.
Since then, the Connecticut native has released 3 EPs ( Simple Love (2015) , 41 North (2016), Full Heart (2021)), performed on some of New York's most well-renowned stages (The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, Pianos, etc.), toured throughout New England, and had his music featured over a dozen times on network television. In 2018, Corey relocated back to his home state of Connecticut, where he continues to perform throughout the area and regularly writes and releases new music.
Drawing upon diverse musical influences, his unique sound blends folk, pop, and rock styles with observational, introspective, and heartfelt lyricism. As his career progresses, he strives to create art that presents a unique perspective on universally relatable human experiences.
