Up and coming singer-songwriter Cody Riley has lived a long life as an artist to be only seventeen years old. He started playing guitar at age five, wrote his first lyrics at seven, and played in his first band at eight. Cody played bass guitar when he was eight years old for his older brother Chris, then played rhythm and vocals in a duet group with Chris for The CCRiley Band. Now, Cody is the front man for The Cody Riley Band.
Cody's musical ability will make you want to move to the music, while his lyrics will leave you wondering just how a seventeen-year-old writes with the wisdom of an artist three times his age. His first E.P. release in August of 2007 was just another stepping stone to the top. With producer Rodney Pyeatt stepping in to lend a hand on lead guitar as well, it was bound to be a success. Following the release of that E.P., SHORT BUS, the band hit the road to do what they have always loved to do: play music.
After the success of the first CD, Everything In Color. Cody and the Band have no doubt that this CD is a reflection of all the hard work over the past few years. Their dedication paid off in making the Cody Riley Band the Rising Star of 2008 in the Texas Music Association, also walking away with 2 more nominations in Producer of the Year and Musician of the Year. The Cody Riley Band claims their number one goal for the remainder of 2009 and 2010 is to play as many shows as possible, and to get the new CD Small Town Rockstar ,released October 2009, into as many hands as possible.
