Corey J. Feldman

Corey J. Feldman is a guitarist and songwriter for Mercury Landing.  Though now focusing on music and writing, Corey actually had a somewhat ironic acting career that peaked at age 9 with a small role on Saturday Night Live (1992 Halloween episode, Hanz and Franz sketch).  He also gave a stellar singing performance of "Comedy Tonight," which was sadly edited out the film Life With Mikey (starring Michael J. Fox).  In elementary school, Corey began exploring his musical side with a trumpet. In his high school years, he decided to pick up bass, followed shortly by guitar and drums. He played bass in a band from ages 16-18, and soon began performing on acoustic guitar as he entered his college years. He formed Mercury Landing with people he met at NYU as well as through the notorious internet classified medium: craigslist.  Mercury Landing has evolved through many incarnations, but ultimately became the pet project of Corey J. who's crafted a rock opera along with a stockade of songs soon to be recorded.

Corey's influences range from jambands like Umphrey's McGee and Phish, to the classic rock of Zeppelin, Yes, and the Talking Heads.  He has also been influenced by the likes of Zappa, Yanni, Mahavishnu, Santana, and a wide array of jazz and classical artists. When he's not getting freaky on his guitar, Corey J. enjoys colored pencil doodling, beatboxing, and creative writing.  He is currently drafting his first apocalyptic novel, as well as his first television script which involves talking animals.

Corey uses Fender guitars and amplification as well as Keeley custom electronics.
