Meet Josh Arnold Cory Prysock of Clarkston, MI

Today we’d like to introduce you to Josh Arnold Cory Prysock.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
YALL BAND – Our Story

YALL BAND’s story doesn’t start on a big stage – it starts in a backyard in Waterford, Michigan during the height of the pandemic. With live music shut down and the world on pause, drummer Cory Prysock made a casual Facebook post about wanting to play again – just something small, just for fun. Josh Arnold saw it and commented, “That would be cool.” Cory fired back: “You didn’t know? You’re already the lead singer.” That moment was the spark.
Mike Castello responded to the post as well, and Cory already knew Nick Hanawalt and James “Coop” Cooper from a previous band. That small group started jamming in Cory’s backyard, dragging out gear and working through songs with no pressure – just pure love for the music. There was no name, no plan – just chemistry, passion, and a growing belief that this could be something special. That’s when YALL BAND was officially formed.
Later, Brett joined to take on rhythm guitar duties, and Steve came in to complete the sound – locking in on lead guitar alongside Nick and rounding out the full lineup. From those backyard sessions to some of the biggest stages in the region, the journey has been anything but ordinary – and it’s only just getting started.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Launching a band is hard. Launching one during a global pandemic? Nearly impossible. From navigating restrictions
and finding places to rehearse, to juggling careers, families, and personal loss – YALL BAND was built in the middle of chaos. But those early challenges forged a resilience that still defines the group. No matter what gets thrown at them -scheduling conflicts, gear issues, long drives, or curveballs on stage – the band finds a way

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?

Who else deserves credit in your story?
The biggest shoutout goes to the families behind the band – the real MVPs. Josh’s wife Nora and their kids, Cory’s wife Julie and their kids, Nick’s wife Katie and their kids, Mike’s wife Melinda and their kids, Coop’s wife Shannon and their kids, Steve’s wife Rachel and their dog, and Brett’s girlfriend Erin and his cats. These are the people who hold it down at home, support the late nights and long weekends, and continue to back this dream with love, patience, and
understanding. YALL BAND wouldn’t be possible without them.
