Jeff Corle

When economic factors beyond his control forced him to shut down his small dairy and sell his beloved Guernsey cows, Jeff Corle was left heartbroken and depressed, feeling that the door had forever closed on his dreams and happiness.

Little did he know the empty barn he was left with would be the very thing that would lead to his emotional recovery and nothing short of an entirely new direction in life. In the midst of his heartache and pain over the sale of his cows, Corle turned to an old friend for comfort, his guitar, and through tears, poured his heart out into what would become the viral hit song, "Empty Barn".

The success of "Empty Barn" garnered Corle legions of fans and opened the door to a totally unexpected career in country music. His story has garnered national media attention, shedding light on the plight of farmers and the mental health crisis many are facing. With depression and suicide rates at an all time high among American farmers, Corle saw a need for someone who’s been there to bare his soul and talk about his own battle with depression, suicidal thoughts, and overcoming loss and adversity.

Corle does this with a concept he calls a “Keynote Concert” where he tells his story by incorporating Empty Barn and other original songs into his heartwarming, inspiring, and uplifting talk as he takes the audience from his lowest lows to his highest highs. Because of his presence, the authenticity he brings to the stage, and the timely use of his songs, Corle can engage and move an audience like few other speakers can. Corle is a man who’s been to the brink. He’s a man who’s gone from heartache to happiness and from cows to country music! He’ll bring your audience to tears but leave them clapping and stomping in and out of their seats!
