Scenes From Fatherhood

This. Is. Adorbs. Quite the gift, Cullinan crew.

Vicki Reilly Reeder

Los Altos Stage Company Director, on Ode To Sidney Grace

Vicki’s right. Ode To Sidney Grace is almost as adorable as its subject. But it’s also a testament to family resilience. As Director of the theatrical company in Cory’s childhood hometown, Vicki also knows there were traumatic times in Cory’s childhood. A childhood that saw both his father — Los Altos’ Mayor — and brother die in a single year.

Ode To Sidney Grace is a song 18 years in the making written and recorded for an audience of one and given to her the eve before Cory, his wife Janette and their younger daughter Riley dropped Sidney off at college. One of the many sunny spots in a life well lived, the remastered song will be released for the first time with this album. Even more…

In 2029-30 Cory will release his unprecedented epic multimedia memoir series Scenes From Fatherhood: Photo Albums & Skeleton Closets, a series of thematically related and largely autobiographical material that will consist of…

Scenes From Fatherhood: Photo Albums & Skeleton Closets Book (2030)
Rechording The Times 1987 Retro Album Release (2030)

The book is a heartfelt memoir chronicling Cory’s experience as both a son and a father. The first two albums above are new collections of music recorded at Reach Studios from both a father’s and son’s perspective. Together with the book of the same name, they give an unfiltered and raw artistic view of life and the life cycle from an artist who’s experienced both its beauty and its traumas.

Cory will also retro-release his original album, Rechording The Times, written and recorded at 17 and 18 years old specifically to process through music the trauma that had just occurred in his life in an era when nobody thought to have him talk to a therapist after 2/3 of his family suddenly disappeared.

Rechording The Times was never professionally released but was part of both his grieving and Stanford application process, where he went on to become a Music Major. It’s being remastered and is a pretty stunningly profound and proficient work of art from a first-time and unprofessionally trained young recording artist. It also sounds a whole lot like the 80s, which is hella funny.
