About the Show…

You are in for a Treat – the quality of a Habitat Show, and being part of an album recording, all in the same package.  6 songs for a studio produced album, and a full “Live at The Habitat: Cory Young” recording that you will be able to own and say “I was there, in the audience, and helped make this happen!”  We are honored that Cory has chosen us to host this event, and on 4/20 none the less!  (Actually, we booked this show about 6 years ago, 4/20 falling on a Saturday only happens once every 7 years!)  Make sure you think about how you dress for this one, There will be pictures and video, that you will likely be in!

About Cory…

 

Winner of the Trop Rock Music Association’s (TRMA)
2018 Album of the Year “SeaHabilitation”, 2018 Horizon Award.
2018 TropRockin Magazine’s Peoples Choice “Breakthrough Artist”,
2018 most requested song of the year RadioTropRock.
2019 Male Vocalist of the Year

For over 20 years, Cory has been playing country music with a dash of salt, a twist of lime, a wisp of smoke – Island Americana. Whether you prefer sipping a cool drink or hiking a mountain, these vibes will help you find the place where “Life Looks Best”.

After nearly a decade in the Nashville music scene and maybe too many Chesney songs, Cory and his family sold everything and bought a sailboat, spending the next 5 years sailing the Florida Keys, Bahamas, Tortuga’s, and Caribbean. Cory lives the life other people only sing about. Down-to-earth vibes where others can find an escape from their busy lives, change their perspectives, and connect with finding life, love & happiness.

The Habitat is the private home of Ken and Heather Settlemyer who are passionate about the importance of nurturing both local plant and animal wildlife and independent musicians.

Habitat-PhotoLive Music & A Wildlife Sanctuary… The concept of the House Concert is to provide a venue where musicians can come to be heard by those whose primary intention is to listen rather than to have music in the background.

We host musicians to perform at The Habitat approximately one to two times per month, either on our outdoor stage, or on the indoor stage in the event of inclement weather or upon musician request.

We are also proud to maintain over 1/4 acre of wilderness within an urban environment, providing much needed habitat for a variety of native species.  We plant only native species and manage or eliminate the non native species in that area.  We are delighted to play host, not just to excellent musicians, but to a plethora of beautiful butterflies.

The Habitat concerts are a private event, contact us for an invite, and when you come, BYOE and a donation for the musicians.  This is completely not for profit, all donations go in entirety to the artists, some of whom will have traveled from out of state!  Food to share is always welcomed, but not required.

We respect our neighbors and all noise ordinances and time the concerts in consideration of both.  We sincerely hope you join us when you are able.

You are also welcome to stop by and ask Ken for a tour, he will be proud to show you our work in progress as we make a miniature wildlife preserve in the middle of Bradenton, a haven for bees, birds, bats and butterflies!

The Habitat has chosen Singing For Change as our official Charity!  We will now make available “The Habitat” branded items including the Singing For Change Logo with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the charity.

The Habitat is proud to have sponsored the Trop Rockin’ Magazine’s Peoples Choice Award (Horizon Award).  Congratulations winners Cory Young in 2018 and Danny Rosado in 2019!
