From forced piano lessons at 8 to adding multiple instruments through the years, including his voice, to studying with Dave Stroud (who's worked with Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Kelly Clarkson, for a few), Korel’s developed his own style of teaching voice, his great passion. He explained how it’s possible to teach pitch and harmonies, and says, yes, pretty much everyone can be taught to sing. He does so on Zoom. You can connect with him and find all things Korel here: koreltunador.com A devoted husband and father, more time coaching on screens (guitar as well) and less time touring suits him. The pandemic, in a way, supported his decision, made before COVID became a 4 letter word. As much as Korel loves playing, husbanding, parenting and teaching are his primary focuses. For now. He sure does love playing with Rob Thomas and the band he’s created. I sure do love sitting down with this funny, smart, sweet, versatile artist.

Korel treated us to two beauteous tunes, Total Surprise, which was a surprise choice, he said he hasn’t played it in years, and his Breaker. Simply gorgeous. Korel ain’t bad, neither.

Grateful for his friendship, Korel’s a loyal and generous friend. He’s played multiple times at Women Who Write, even venturing to Big Sur, to serenade us. I’ll be forever grateful to Zoe Moon, for connecting us. I adore the man. It was so fun to spend a coupla of hours in his great company, I forgot for the time I was alone in my home. Chicken soup for my pandemic weary soul.
