Cody Johnson

Platinum recording artist and CMA Awards Male Vocalist of the Year nominee Cody Johnson brings his 2024 Tour to New Orleans on Friday, May 31, 2024 with special guests Chris Janson and Drake Milligan.

Cody spoke exclusively to Billboard about the new music and being ‘authentic.’ “People appreciate authenticity, whether it’s me being a cowboy and singing something that reminds people of ‘90s country stuff they grew up on, or someone like the Zach Bryans and guys that are more like what probably is considered Americana, or Jelly Roll, who is completely the opposite of me, musically,” Johnson says. “But authenticity is the common thread.” Writer Jessica Nicholson asked how the album’s cover art came to be, “I was working at the ranch that day, so I told my photographer Chris Douglas to come over,” Johnson tells Billboard. “...We got started at 5:00 a.m. and worked all day and he ended up getting some incredible photos while we were working.” Read the full Billboard story here.
