Welcome to the official website of Corky's Old Time Rock and Roll Revival

Duane "Corky" Shull
Lead Guitar

DOB: April 28, 1950

GREW UP IN: Fairborn, Ohio

MUSIC BACKGROUND: Started music at age 11 by playing piano, trumpet, and guitar. While in high school, rock & roll spawned the realization that guitar would eventually be his primary instrument. Playing rock-n-roll in many local clubs through the late 70's, Corky eventually shifted to country music during the mid 80's where he traveled throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. After a short hiatus through the 90's, he regrouped with a country band once again and created a theatre play called "Yee Haw". The show sold out almost every performance and was taped for local TV. It still occasionally airs on the Fairborn access channel. Wanting to continue into rock&roll, Corky reunited many members of the "Yee Haw" gang and started the band.

MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Chet Atkins, Jerry Reid, Duane Eddy, Jimmy Burton, Les Paul, Ventures, and Lonnie Mack to name a few. Special mention goes to Lonnie Coots who mentored Corky as early as age 12 with several "finger pickin" styles, along with many "guitar licks".
