In July 2003 an opportunity arose for Cory to do a tribute show of Tim McGraw songs. Strangely enough, back when he was 15 years old, a Tim McGraw concert in Moncton was the first big show Cory had ever attended. After seeing this show, Cory was sure he wanted to be a country singer. Today this tribute show has taken him to many parts of Canada, the United States, and even Japan. 0
