Cory McDaniel is a creative singer, song writer and guitarist. Born on the high plains surrounded by the Rocky Mountains in the western United States, He was "always in rock bands," eventually wandering up to Seattle and opening for acts like the Youngbloods and Janis Joplin. In 1986, after a jaunt to Alaska, he returned to Casper for good, joining forces with Dale Bohren to form the core of the Tremors.

Cory wandered into a love of the blues by traveling. Cory was first inspired by the Big Band sounds his parents played at home. Later, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Oingo Boingo’s Danny Elfman, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen influenced his song writing and arranging. 

In 2005, he was asked to perform at the Mettmann Blues Festival in Mettmann, Germany as a soloist. Bluesweek organizer Wolfgang Pieker said McDaniel was “sensationally good,” and added that although not all musical solo tours are successful, “with Cory McDaniel, you can be sure of an aura that was present at the Tremors’ shows of the past.”

This European tour set in motion the desire to move forward as a soloist. Since then he has performed at a variety of venues in the USA.

A solo album "Save A Soul" is in the works which will be comprised of mostly live performances.

Cory continues to perform with Dale Bohren as what is "Wyoming's only two-piece trio." The Tremors returned to Europe in June of 2008, for a wonderful tour of Italy with Spencer Bohren. The Tremors continue to play locally and have been asked to return to the Mettmann Blues Week in Mettmann, Germany in March of 2009. See tour schedule at www.thetremors.com
