Corey Mack wastes little time in getting to the stage. His set does require some equipment, as he beatboxes and loops samples into his set. His isn't strictly a music act by any means, but his material weaves through various aspects of culture, and as a New Orleans native, he naturally gravitates to music as an expression of culture. There are few cities where music and culture are more deeply intertwined than New Orleans. Living in that environment has helped Corey develop a gift for dissecting the essential elements of various styles of music-- and, by proxy, different cultures-- and it's a lot of fun to watch. He has a relaxed and easy way with the crowd that puts people at ease even when he's approaching more difficult topics.
