The Cody Jinks story is one we are all happy to be a part of. He is the definition of “doing it his way.” After several years of fronting a metal band in his hometown of Fort Worth, Cody reverted back to his roots of classic country music. Though he has a gruff exterior with a giant beard and covered in tattoos, he’s a pretty unassuming and easy to get along with ol’ boy at his core. The best way to describe Jinks’ music, live show and approach to his career is “genuine.” The songs are heartfelt and personal when they aren’t rollicking and jamming – and his live show is spirited and fun. Cody has been zigzagging across the United States building a passionate fanbase for many years while consistently putting out music. Since 2008 he has totalled 9 studio records including the last 4 which have all reached the top 40 on the Billboard chart. The grassroots movement which has built up over the last few years is still growing, and it’s easy to cheer for a guy who has done it his way.
