Volunteer

Volunteer is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Cory Quintard. Shortly after starting Volunteer and recording the first EP in Orlando, FL in 2014 Quintard packed up his things and moved to Nashville that same year to pursue his passion playing music full-time. In February 2015 he independently released his debut EP, 'The World Will Begin Again’—produced by Jeremiah Dunlap at Emissary Studios, mixed by Jon Howard (producer/engineer, former touring member of Paramore) and mastered by Sam Moses—which gained a great listenership on Spotify and Soundcloud. The EP's namesake single was quickly streamed over 100,000 times with follow up singles "Somebody's Everything" and "Waking Up" also breaking the 100,000 mark within the year. The music video for "The World Will Begin Again", released along with the album, performed well on YouTube with over 10,000 views on its own. The success of the debut EP translated into album sales and eventually a licensing deal from The Music Bed, the micro-licensing site based in Fort Worth, TX. Performances at The High Watt, The Basement, Mercy Lounge, The Back Corner and Musicians Corner followed along with being one of three musical guests at the nation's premier conference for creatives and storytellers---Story Conference.

Volunteer embarked on a full band tour in the Fall 2016 in support of Matt Hires' 'American Wilderness' Tour playing 25 dates in just over a month across Florida, Texas, The West Coast, The Midwest, and The Northeast just as the second EP was nearing completion. The follow up EP, ‘The World Is Ours’ released in April of 2017 and has been critically acclaimed receiving over 10k streams on Spotify of the first single in just a month.

2018 found Volunteer releasing a series of singles including the viral and catchy, feel-good anthem "Good Good Day" used by YouTuber Kristin Johns (609k subscribers) on her Making Memories video (295k views) and "Deep Into The Wild" used by Nick Jonas as the backdrop to his wedding highlight video (2M+ likes) with wife Priyanka Chopra.

2020 will see the release of Volunteer's highly anticipated debut full-length album. Cory, armed with a band of Nashville’s best. plans to embark on a Spring/Summer tour to promote his most honest, revealing, and raw work to date with his personable and high-energy live shows. This is the beginning of a new phase for Cory. Come along for the ride.
