COUNTRY MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE LIVED ENOUGH LIFE TO HEAR IT DIFFERENTLY
Iowa roots. Southern California life. Raised on 90s country.
Cody Carter is an Iowa-raised country artist rooted in San Diego, writing songs about the things that mean more after you’ve lived a little.
Raised on 90s country, Cody pairs strong vocals and a high-energy full-band sound with songs drawn from real life: family, work, old friends, Friday nights, places that change, and the moments you don’t realize matter until later.
Cody has opened for Clint Black and Lady A, appeared as a musical guest on FOX 5/KUSI, been featured by Whiskey Riff’s New Country Music Friday, and earned a 2024 San Diego Music Awards nomination for Best Country Song.
The songs bring the perspective. The live show brings the horsepower.
