For Eugene-based singer-songwriter Rudolf Korv, it’s about honoring the journey, while never losing sight of where he’s been. It’s about listening to the small voice that guides us along the way, whether it comes from somewhere deep inside, or someplace high above. That journey is now chronicled in Korv’s latest single, “Oregon (The Land that I love),” out now on all major music streaming services and features lushly strummed acoustic guitar with echoes of pedal steel guitar over a skeletal framework of ringing piano chords.

The music Korv plays can only be described as Americana.  Like a lot of teenagers in the `90s, Korv grew up listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and you can hear a bit of Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder in Korv’s sonorous growl, “but when I would write, it would come out way more tender,” Korv remembers. More than anything, Korv is inspired by the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. “His songs shaped me the most: autobiographical to a degree, but more expounded in fiction,” he says.
