about
The actor who is known for Big Fat Greek wedding, and Sex and the City, has gone country. From his website, John Corbett asks one favor: Listen to the music first. An esteemed actor known for his naturalness in off-beat roles, Corbett accepts that his first album will be met with excitement by some, skepticism by others. He wants both camps to put aside preconceptions—and put on the music. As an actor, Corbett’s always brought an easy grace to his roles, whether it’s in the acclaimed TV series Sex and the City and Northern Exposure or in the hit films My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Raising Helen. His music carries the same natural, down-to-earth spirit—only this is not role-playing. “Music has always been central to my life, much more so than acting,” he says. “Acting is how I make my living. Music has always been a passion—it’s something I love, something I can’t live without.” He grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia, a blue-collar mining and steel mill town on the Ohio River that’s famous as a music center. John and his mother lived in an apartment five blocks from The Capitol Music Hall, home to the Wheeling Jamboree—now known as Jamboree USA. The live Saturday country music show is the second longest continuing running live radio broadcast, after Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry.
