Corey Crowder Band
Corey launched his first serious music project in the fall of 2001, and began recording demos and playing shows under the name A Farewell to Arms. In 2003 he released his first full length album recorded from home called "Certain Starlights and Fleeting Daybreaks." Corey spent the next year and half growing his fan base and trying to play out as often as possible. As things began to grow more and more serious Corey decided to instate a bit of a change. So, in early 2005 Corey decided to drop the name A Farewell to Arms and begin recording and performing as simply Corey Crowder. The decision was due to the growing concern that the name A Farewell to Arms was too confusing for listeners and didn't quite fit the sound that Corey had developed. In August 2005 Corey released an 11-track acoustic full-length album that included some re-recorded songs from "Certain Starlights" as well as some brand new material. The album was called "Learning to Let Go - Home Recordings" and was the most successful release to date thanks to MTV airing various songs from the album on their reality show The Real World.
