img-home-journey-cdcover-up

Today is Earth Day and to celebrate we are spotlighting: CORNFLOWER, the lean green beat machine.  Nestled in the northwest corner of the country Cornflower has mastered the essence of rockapella with his fun and energetic live performances. Building an array of soundscapes using foot pedals to loop beats and harmonies, this one man jamband takes elements of hip hop, drum n bass, funk, and whatever else and blends them into an experience that is truly unique amidst the current electronica craze.  His website:  Cornflowermusic.com is loaded with info, news, links, a podcast, show dates and most importantly his new L.P.

  1. Cornflower is an amazing container of spirit and soul. I have had the pleasure of seeing him many times live. It is amazing to see the multiple layers of music and soul that he creates and shares with the world. Can’t wait to see what he creates next. Much love Cornflower -

  2. Yes! So great to see Cornflower spreading his soulful vibrations to the world at large.
    We’ve been so blessed to hear him share his unique style here in Ashland.
    How one gentle man can create such a full orchestra of harmonies & beats is something everyone needs to experience….live, if at all possible!!!

  3. Having only enjoyed Cornflowers music via video I feel no less inspired by his rhythm and beat. He has a presence about him that leaves you lifted on high. The musical journey he takes you on is so peaceful and yet invigorating! Thank you Cornflower!
