Guitarist seduces with blue eyes, blue-eyed soul

Festiva's Hottest Guys of Valley Rock 2009 profiles the guitarist of the Leigh Holles Band below. To read other profiles in the series, click here.

Corey Miles Sheeley isn't afraid to admit his six-pack is "more like a keg," and that's what makes him hot.

Otherwise, the lead guitarist of the Leigh Holles Band is as uncalculated and low-key as you'd assume. But don't let the t-shirts, baggy jeans or tennis shoes fool you -- Corey is a grown-up.

"There's always going to be someone better and younger than you," says Corey, typically this matter of fact.

While he still hasn't outgrown video games (he's currently obsessed with The Godfather 2), Corey is that rarest of birds: a man who can commit to things.

He's got two loves of in life -- his fianceé and the blues. Stevie Ray Vaughan shot the arrow into Corey's heart years ago, and to this day he's still a willing slave to his musical mistress.

"There's something about blues music that drives you," he says.

Clarity is just one of Corey's aphrodisiacs. He's also got those crystal blue eyes. And then there's that George Clooney jawline ...

If a guy girl had these three albums, I would fall in love with them immediately:
Pink Floyd - Animals; B.B. King - Live at the Regal; Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't Stand the Weather

Who is your rock star crush?
Gwen Stefani

What did you look like a little kid?
I was pretty goofy looking, I guess. I had real short, almost shaved brown hair. Pretty quiet kid for the most part.

Bad habid you'd like to kick?
Smoking.

Which Valley restaurant would you take a first date to?
The Palenque Grill

What physical feature are you most insecure about?
I'd say my gut. I got a keg not a six-pack.

When you want to pig out, what do you eat?
Lasagna.

Ever date an older woman?
I was 25, and she was 27. You can't help who you fall in love with sometimes. You meet somebody, (and) it doesn't matter.

Are you vain?
No, I wouldn't say so. I'm pretty humble. Especially when it comes to music, and I think that's something people kind of mistake with me. I appear humble but people think, "Oh, I ‘m being better than you." There's always going to be someone better and younger than you. You just do what you do and don't worry about anybody else.

Favorite store at the mall?
Game Stop
