Cody Howell (Dolly Parton)

November 06, 2023 • Jay Franze / Cody Howell • Episode 36

In this episode of The Jay Franze Show, we're sitting with the incredible recording artist Cody Howell. Hailing from the heartland with a dash of Nashville spirit, Cody's music blends western sound and a midwestern heart. Inspired by the likes of Randy Rogers, Dierks Bentley, and Zane Williams, his songs genuinely reflect his country lifestyle.

But there's more to Cody than just his music. Before making it in the music scene, this Kansas native served our country in the United States Navy for seven years. Now, he's settled in Nashville, attending Belmont University, and giving back through organizations like Project K-9 Hero, supporting veterans and their families.

Cody's journey in Music City took an exciting turn when he crossed paths with renowned musician and producer Kent Wells. He's not only a rising star in his own right but also made a mark as a background vocalist on Dolly Parton's highly-anticipated Rock Album, Rockstar.

Join us as we chat with Cody about his experiences, his new solo project, "Any Way You Go," and what's in store for his upcoming full album. This episode is a deep dive into the world of an artist making waves in the country music scene. You won't want to miss it!
