Jeff Corle is a unique combination of a seasoned country songwriter and farmer.  After growing up on the farm, he spent his formative years in Nashville, plying his trade as an Outlaw Country style singer-songwriter. 

After experiencing "Nashville burn-out" he went back to his roots, returning home to run his family's dairy farm in rural western-Pennsylvania.  But when economic factors beyond his control forced him to shut down the dairy and sell his beloved Guernsey cows, he was left heartbroken and despondent. 

In the midst of his heartache and pain he turned to an old friend for comfort - his guitar.  In the aftermath of having to say goodbye to the cows, Corle penned what would become his first viral hit, Empty Barn.  With the success of Empty Barn and the support of legions of new fans Corle kept writing and travelled back to Nashville to record his debut album "Farm Animal".  Life experiences- good and bad, have given him a strong and courageous voice.  He's a man who has something to say. . . and isn't afraid to say it.

Jeff has said, "Nashville taught me how to write songs.  The farm gave me something to write about.  Farm Animal is the album I've been waiting to write all of my life."

Jeff shares his story with Lou Diamond on Thrive LouD.
