Corkscrew may be new to the scene, but they are turning heads where ever they go. Already having supported legendary performers such as Dickie Betts, modern rock bands such as Live and Rose Hill Drive, future legends such as Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Corkscrew has honed their live act for the bigger stages to a fine tuned performance. Frank (lead and slide guitar) has even had the honor of performing with Robert Randolph and the Family Band!

Breaking out of the common Jam band formulas, they are part of the sub genre moving towards progressive musical jams with emphasis on songwriting and arrangements. Their covers are re-interpretations of the originals, rearranged for Corkscrew’s groove and used as platforms for their innovative improvisational expeditions. What is Corkscrew’s style, who do they sound like? Each member brings a distinct musical style to the amalgam that is Corkscrew. Their influences include: The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Phil Lesh and Friends, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, Gov’t Mule and many others.
