Cory Obert
Cory Obert grew up in California in the 60s and the 70s, and started hearing some of the more progressive bands using banjo and fiddle together.  As time went on he found himself being more drawn to the music of artists such as Michael Doucet and then Alison Krauss on Austin City Limits in the early nineties.  So at the age of 34, Cory finally jumped in headfirst and started taking fiddle lessons.  He now performs as the fiddler for the Colorado-based Sweet Sunny South.
