Cody Tyler

Cody Tyler and his band bring a gritty, Appalachian-rooted country sound to Foster’s On The Point. Grounded in generations of family ties to Pennsylvania’s coal and rust belt, Cody shaped many of his songs while hunting and hiking in the state’s backcountry. The group’s debut, Stare Your Demons Down, was recorded with Jeff McKinnon at Think Loud Studios in York and at Full Tilt Productions in Mechanicsburg, then mastered in Nashville by Grammy winner Pete Lyman, whose credits include Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, and Tyler Childers. The album’s feel leans rugged, soulful and blues kissed, made for boot kicking moments. Influences span Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, The Allman Brothers Band and Sturgill Simpson, giving Cody’s voice and guitar a seasoned character across generations. On stage he is joined by lead guitarist Raif Groves, drummer Gavin Orth and fretless bassist Sean Grahn, a lineup that folds bluegrass and southern rock into a sound Cody calls Black Dirt Country. Recognition includes Album of the Year for Stare Your Demons Down and Best Country Band at the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards in 2023, and the band has shared bills with national acts such as Charles Wesley Godwin, Chris Janson, Cole Swindell and Gabby Barrett.
