Rory Feek – When Life Is Told Through Music and Heart
Rory Feek is more than just a musician or a singer—he’s a natural-born storyteller. Through music, film, books, and deeply personal blog posts, Rory doesn’t just perform—he invites us into his soul, allowing us to truly feel every note, every word.
Many people came to know Rory through his moving love story and musical journey with his late wife, Joey Feek. As the Grammy-winning duo Joey + Rory, they sold over a million records and left a lasting impression on countless hearts before Joey’s heartbreaking passing in 2016 due to cancer.
After Joey’s death, Rory stepped away from the spotlight. The stage at their farm lay quiet for two whole years. But one day, as he crossed the familiar driveway and saw the empty venue, he realized: “God must have left it there for a reason.” That was the beginning of his return—not just to performing, but to creating music on his own.
And so Gentle Man was born—Rory’s first solo album. It’s more than a personal milestone; it’s a continuation of the legacy he and Joey once built together. The title track “Gentle Man” carries a heartfelt message: a father passing down timeless values to his son—things like kindness, respect, and compassion. They may seem old-fashioned, but they never go out of style.
But Rory doesn’t just tell stories through music. He writes books, and he blogs about life—reaching nearly 3 million readers. Still, Rory says he’s not just a storyteller; he’s a “story liver.” He once shared, “I didn’t want to keep writing about people living extraordinary lives. I wanted to live one myself.”
Through his love for Joey, for their daughter Indiana, for music and for life—Rory Feek continues to live and share stories that are beautifully real and deeply inspiring. And Gentle Man is perhaps the clearest reflection of his heart: tender, sincere, and always living to love.
