Corey Thuro is a Baltimore-based mandolin player originally out of Poolesville, MD. He has spent the past few years developing an original technique for the mandolin which involves the treatment of all eight strings as separate, non-static, tones in place of traditional grouped pairs. Aside from playing improvisational music he is a member of local bands Seneca and Sam Cooper & The Sleepwalkers and has started on releasing solo recordings as of 2018.https://soundcloud.com/coreythuro/non-local-s
