Cornstalk is definitely a band to see live in concert, as brothers Chris & Shayne Hamall deliver soulful and rich harmonies to the band, along with Kane Starkey's melodic cutting edge blues solo's. Sounds like Southern Rockers “The Black Crowes” meets “Seattle Grunge”.

Cornstalk is a band of quality, musicianship, melodic solo's, strong vocals and harmonies with a punching rhythm section with a roots rock sound, Cornstalk is the sound you have been waiting for and a show not to be missed.

The band members consist of: Chris Hamall (Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar), Lyle Goodman (Drums), Ben Pettett (Keys), Shayne Hamall (Backing Vocals / Percussion), Kane Starkey (Lead Guitar), and Evan Doyle (Bass).

Thank you to all who come to share the gift of friendship, life & music.
