Cori Brewster

March 2024

Cori’s music career spans over thirty-four years. She has released five CDs, performed across Canada, Germany, and New Zealand, taught songwriting workshops, and co-wrote songs with some masterful songwriters. Her lyrics appear in a poetry anthology, Vistas of the West: Poems and Visuals of Nature, and John Riley’s book, Bad Judgement. In 2009, the Canada Council awarded her a grant to produce a CD called Buffalo Street: Historic Characters of the Canadian Rockies. Her music knits together folk, roots, and storytelling with a strong Canadiana flavour, covering a range of subjects from the personal to the historical and from the genealogical to geographical, which evoke a time, a sense of place, a character, and a range of emotions. Since the release of Four Horses in 2016, Cori has been writing personal essays. She attended classes offered by the Alexander Writers Guild and Writers Guild of Alberta to learn the craft and is putting the finishing touches on a new project called 55 ~ 5 Songs 5 Stories. Cori is a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and a devoted Buddhist practitioner and traveler. She lives happily in Canmore, with her wife, Lori.
