Adam Corkett

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Adam Corkett is a singer-songwriter who crafts folk and Americana built on story, humor, and heartbreak. Raised across Canada before spending years living in Thailand and recording in South Africa, Corkett came to songwriting after realizing that singing his own words was the only way to perform wholeheartedly. Influenced by lyricists like John Prine, Johnny Cash, and Colter Wall, his songs tackle loss, betrayal, regional history, and the harsh realities of the surrounding environment. Following nearly a decade of co-leading band projects, Corkett released his debut solo EP, Storyteller, recorded at Wheelhouse Studios in High River. Onstage, he pairs dry, self-deprecating banter with tragic, character-driven songs, creating intimate performances filled with songs of true stories, whether they actually happened or not.
