Blending a bohemian-punk ethos with an indie-folk sound, Duluth songwriter Cory Coffman melds his inviting voice with a musical eclecticism, giving his songs popular appeal. Presenting poetic depth and musical thoughtfulness, Coffman writes songs witty enough to make you laugh, yet endearing enough to make you cry.

In his debut album, Coffman paints his place as an artist worth listening to. Canvas and Color is as much about hopeful new beginnings as it is the nostalgic past. With heartwarming lyrics and subtle satire, Coffman pairs simple chord progressions with sweet melodies that speak to the innocence in us all.

Coffman has established himself as a prominent figure in the music scene of Duluth, Minnesota. His work as a freelance drummer and percussionist over the past decade has curated a diverse performance background. This variety of musical experiences can be heard in songs that feature a wide range of genres and a strong sense of rhythm. 

Cory Coffman is a standout musician who comforts his audience with his optimistic demeanor and affable nature. Canvas and Color brings a carefree attitude to an age of frustrated confusion.
