About
BIO
At the age of four years old, Cora Rose Wood discovered her love for singing, cowboy poetry, and songwriting. Being raised on a ranch in southern Wyoming, Cora was no stranger to the way of life that served as cowboy poetry fodder and took to both horses and music with great ease. Accompanied by her supportive mother, Laurie Wood, Cora would get to attend many cowboy gatherings in several different states in the years that followed, including the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV, and the Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Durango, CO.
In 2008, she released her album “Cora’s Cowgirl Yodel”, and was the Western Music Association’s Youth Yodeler of the Year in 2008 and 2010. In 2012, her family relocated to a ranch in southern Montana, where she became more involved in sports and symphonic band, playing the flute and piccolo. Her experiences with high school marching and symphonic band helped shape her appreciation for music as a whole and inspired her to attend Sheridan College in Sheridan Wyoming. In Spring of 2022, she graduated with her Associates of Fine Arts (Music), her Music technology Certificate and her Arts Administration Certificate.
The music that she writes today is heavily influenced by her rural western upbringing, Christian faith, and the Wyoming landscape. Armed with a knack for lyrical composition and pleasing melody, her songs bring an interesting mix of folk, cowboy, and old school country to her listeners' ears.
Cora now calls northern Wyoming home, where she lives with her husband and daughter.
