North Bay's Cory Marks has been unable to perform any concerts this summer due to the pandemic, but he will have the opportunity to perform locally on Friday night.
"I’m excited to say that I’ll be playing LIVE this Friday at 8 p.m. at Burger World on Hammond. This is a pop up acoustic show my friend Daniel Rivet and I have been talking about for a few weeks now we can do it," Marks said via social media.
"Seating will be limited so please come early. Looking forward to playing for this city again and hang with some great local people out on the patio."
Despite the pandemic putting a halt to concerts, Marks' new single "Drive" has been attracting a lot of attention.
Earlier this month, the song got a very positive review on the influential trade magazine Billboard.
Author Dave Brooks describes the song as "a straight-ahead country-pop anthem with an infectious hook and roll-down-your-window feel-good sound "

The summer tune comes on the heels of the successful “Outlaws and Outsiders” released earlier this year.
His latest album "Who am I" which includes the two recent hits is scheduled to be released in early August.
