Area musician James Corbett next guest on Studio Sessions

April 26, 2012

The Northland College radio station 97.7 WRNC-LP will feature local musician James Corbett on the next installment of "Studio Sessions" on Friday, April 27, at 7:30 p.m. Corbett will discuss his debut album "Coming Home," which he released in January.

James Corbett is a singer-songwriter from Park Falls, Wisconsin. After graduating high school, he attended the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Corbett returned home and began playing acoustic folk music, drawing influences from artists like Chuck Ragan and Dustin Kensrue. The Park Falls native writes personal songs with universal themes.

"[The album is] kind of looking back on past things in your life and deciding I'm not going to worry about those anymore and I'm moving on from this point. It's kind of about forgetting about the mistakes you may have made and forgiving yourself for that and moving on to a better place," says Corbett.

Corbett says he wants people to connect with his music on a personal level. He's working on a new project with friends and family in Park Falls. He hopes to release another album sometime this summer.
