 Cody Gill’s debut performance took place more than a decade ago. A Stephenville native, Gill spent many of his early years in Houston working an 8 to 5 gig before listening to his heart and moving back home to pursue a life in music. He has since established a reputation for genuine, real life narratives in his lyrics. Two full length albums later and with loyal fans spanning the country, Gill has solidified his place in the Texas country music scene.

Cody Gill has all of his cards on the table with his new EP arriving in early 2011, which features the hit single “Road Signs”. He hopes that this will be his best work yet. “The music business is changing; it has been changing. Fans receive music much differently now than in the past” says Gill. While expanding his musical horizons, Gill is staying true to his roots of passion and integrity and expects that his new work will be well received. “I want my music to reach beyond state lines, but not lose its integrity. I won’t lose where I came from.”

Gill’s new EP will be a follow up to his self-produced sophomore album, King of Your Hometown, released in 2009 in collaboration with Smith Entertainment. The album’s first two singles “King of Your Hometown”, a good hearted, satirical memoir of sorts, and “Crazy”, an upbeat sing-a-long, both reached the “Top 30” on the Texas Music Chart. “Road Signs”, mixed and engineered by Erik Herbst, was the rocking fan favorite. It peaked at #18 on the Texas Music Chart. The album filled the Lonestar Music #2 Best Seller position for two months. The success of King of Your Hometown gave Gill the recognition and honor of receiving a Gruene with Envy ‘New Artist of the Year’ nomination.

In 2007, Gill’s debut album Boxcars, produced by Mike McClure, also churned out a Texas Music Chart hit. “Can’t Let Her Go” spent an astonishing nine months on the Chart, showing that Gill is no stranger to chart topping hits. The powerful vocals of Gill combined with the soaring guitar of lead man Zack Hooper, driving drums of Jarrod Baker, interwoven bass grooves of Zach ‘Cooder’ Wade, and harmonious keys of Kayleigh Jones make for one magnetic stage performance.

 

Gill’s touring radius is expanding as his popularity grows. “Road signs keep flying by” as he hits the pavement over 175 days a year. Recent shows have him breaking out of the borders of the Lonestar State in support of his new EP due out in early 2011. Gill shows no signs of slowing down and says “every road is worth traveling at least once".

"Boxcars' is a really good CD. Lots of variety, originality, interesting guitar licks, honest vocals, creative bass lines, and not over-produced. It sounds sincere, like some friends got together to make a CD because they had something to say rather than bills to pay. Crank up the volume and drive fast!

From the 'ville
This is no Texas-alt-country-wannabe group of musicians. Take the complex bass lines of Caleb Hooper, the jazz-honed drumbeats of Jarrod Baker, the Hendrix and jazz inspired guitar licks of Zack Hooper, glue them all together with the soulful singing of Cody Gill, and there is something remarkable about this band--they can rock your socks off! Original songwriting, great melodies, refreshing harmonies, and a great live stage presence. My new favorite Texas band!

"Boxcars" is a great Y'all-ternative piece of music! Great original songs written by great original songwriters. Heartfelt lyrics, screaming guitar solos, funkiest C&W basslines this side of Bootsy Collins. Live shows are even better: they add a few good covers that aren't the same run-of-the-mill panderings to bozo audiences. Rockin' and a rollin' is what these four guys from Texas do. Buy it, learn it, live it!!!

The Cody Gill Band is one hell of musical talent. I would advise everyone to pick up a copy of "boxcars" and a ticket to the next show. These guys are young and full of musical energy just waiting to be set free. Keep it up guys! I can't get enough!
