Wong does it right: Cory Wong is a Grammy-nominated musical maestro who’s always got something fun up his sleeve. Whether it’s shredding guitar in full hockey gear on a skating rink, or hosting his podcast Wong Notes, his creativity and upbeat presence shine through. Recently, Wong got the chance to flex his acting chops with “Cory and the Wongnotes,” a YouTube variety show full of skits, interviews, collaborations, and music from a full band. As a result, Wong released an eponymously titled album of music from the show, including the rhythmic “Coming Back Around” and horn-heavy “United,” featuring Antwuan Stanley, who joins Wong and his band on tour.
