He can often be heard on legendary Seattle indie rock station KEXP, has opened for acts ranging from Willie Nelson to Ray LaMontagne, Keith Urban and Susan Tedeschi, and, he’s had wins in the Merlefest folk songwriting contest as well as the Kerrville Folk Festival's elite New Folk songwriting competition. Lenker began work on a new album, Thousand Springs, in early April of 2016. He spent weeks traveling and recording outdoors in various locations in southern Idaho and then spent early summer laying more tracks with some of his favorite musicians around the country. Watch for the release of Thousand Springs soon. Lenker’s visit is part of the BIG IDEA project Idaho Stories and while here, Korby will be working with students from Wood River High School.
