Now, Cory M. Coons returns with another collaboration with Nevison, featuring a special guest on keyboards.

On March 3rd, 2020, MTS Records will release Coons’ first new single of 2020, “Leavin’.” The track was mixed by Ron Nevison, produced by Marc D. Muir (assisted by Coons) and it features Eric Levy of Night Ranger on keyboards. Muir played lead guitar and bass on the track. Rounding out the musicians, Barry Billingham played drums. Mastering was done my Matt Thomson.

“A sense of longing in this one… Going away and coming full circle in with things,” explains Coons. “The experience of loneliness, relating to a travelling man or musician’s life, and perhaps, reflecting on the difficult challenges one faces of being away from family at times.”
