Background
Corrina was born and raised about 40 miles south of St. Louis, Missouri, near the town of Red Bud, Illinois. Corrina’s parents, both ardent bluegrass fans who had their own band in the 1980s, always had a record or cassette playing while Corrina was growing up. ““My first favorite record, when I was 3 years old, was Jim & Jesse’s In The Tradition,” Corrina says, “but my first favorite singer was a toss up between Jim McReynolds and Del McCoury.”
Corrina began playing guitar when she was around 8 years old and started picking banjo shortly after that, jamming with her parents and occasionally in local jam sessions, but interest was by and large fickle. When her parents revived their band in her early teens, Corrina’s interest in playing became greater. 
On her 14th birthday, Corrina received a fiddle.
“I really didn’t know what to say when I got the fiddle,” admits Corrina, “cause I was kind of hoping for a Fender Stratocaster.”
Nevertheless, there was a fiddle.
“I was into a lot of different things at the time. I was playing punk rock guitar half the time and Don Reno banjo the other. But I thought since I had it, I’d give the fiddle a try.”
