Cody Tyler

You could call Cody Tyler “red dirt country,” but the rocky soil in coal country and the rust belt, where his family has been rooted for centuries, is a few shades darker. The majority of Cody’s songs are the product of his musings while hunting and hiking deep in the Pennsylvania wilderness, particularly the middle area of the state he lovingly refers to as “Pennsyltucky.” Shaped by his blue collar truck-driving ancestors, Cody is an old soul, drawing influence from the likes of Waylon Jennings, The Allman Brothers Band, The Steel Woods, and Sturgill Simpson. With his well-seasoned baritone voice and guitars that resonate a road-worn tone, Cody’s sound exhibits a northern rural attitude and powerful delivery that can only be described as Black Dirt Country.
