Singer-songwriter Kort McCumber weaves a rich and diverse tapestry of musical experience, skill and energy into each and every one of his many musical endeavors. A classically trained pianist & cellist (he learned from his mom, Joy Myers, who played for the Jacksonville Symphony for more than two decades) today Kort plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki, cello and more.

Over the last ten years Kort honed his skills as a working musician playing more than 1000 live shows throughout the U.S. and Europe. His first CD released in 1999 and he is currently putting the finishing touches on his sixth project, Lickskillet Road, featuring appearances from Vince Gill, Sally Van Meter, Don Conoscenti and more. Each CD offers a glimpse into the life and musical direction of a blossoming singer-songwriter. The newest CD is proof positive that if one stays true to their passion, great things ensue.

Kort writes, plays and sings Americana - equal parts folk, country, blues and bluegrass, with a healthy dose of something fresh. After moving to Colorado in 2004, the music took a decidedly more country/bluegrass turn and dug deeper into the roots of his Scotch-Irish heritage. Those roots are evident as well in his golf game. Kort played collegiate golf at UVA and Florida. Sister Beth Wilberger, who plays fiddle and sings harmonies with Kort, also played collegiate golf but at Florida State. His Father Jim owns McCumber Golf, a worldwide leader in course design and operations and Uncle Mark spent nearly 30 years on the PGA Tour, playing today on the Senior Tour.

Kort lives with his wife Amy and their two dogs, Guinness & Nugget, "on top of the world at the bottom of Lickskillet Road," just west of Boulder Colorado. If you spent a moment by the river you'd wonder why he ever leaves. But, thankfully, he does, bringing his musical verve to venues far and wide. If you're lucky, you'll catch it soon at a venue near you.
