If you’re in the mood for something uplifting to see the year out, I’ve got just the performer for you, Cory Wong. This session happened earlier this month in Cory’s hometown of Minneapolis. Watch
Cory and the Wongnotes on ice released just this week (because Minnesota, silly). The acoustics at a hockey rink are amazing. Here
Very nice, sort of a modern-day version of Chicago.
Took a good listen and plan to revisit it. Was something Wong with the sound though.
I half-expected to see Jackass Joe ice fishing in the background!
Seriously tho, I haven’t hoid anyone play the Bass Zamboni like that since Max Bennett in 1969 on Chunga’s Revenge!
acoustics are great… because the audio was recorded in a studio
Best thing I’ve seen from Minnie in almost 2 years.
I used to help out at the local arena as a kid(free ice time) and would stand at center ice and say “hey” or “boo” at just above a normal speaking voice and it would boom all through the arena. I don’t know if it was the ice,the boards and glass,or the shape of the roof but it was really cool. Allways wanted to set up my amp and guitar and crank out my tired overplayed chords for fun.

Cory Wong has an amazing strumming technique.
Rink tune sounds like Asteroids Galaxy Tour. That’s a compliment.
They’re great! Thanks for posting this.
