About Cody

Cody McCarver Cody McCarver Cody McCarver Cody McCarver

When you hear Cody sing, you know he has a story to tell.

Raised in the mountains of Dunlap, TN, Cody's first musical influence was in his home church. Even as a young child, Cody loved music and became the church piano player before the age of ten. It's that musical connection to faith that has helped Cody through dark and troubled times, including the imprisonment of his father and his death inside a jail cell.

Cody spent over a decade with country music super-group, Confederate Railroad, eventually leaving to start his own solo career. This career was extremely lucrative with numerous accolades — including three number one videos on CMT Pure Country and earning the title of Independent Artist of the Year from Music Row Magazine.

"Here I was with everything I could imagine, but something was missing and I was miserable. So, I started filling that void with Jack Daniels, who became my best friend, every single day." — Cody McCarver

Throughout his career, Cody has shared the stage with legends such as Charlie Daniels, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard and more. His solo career saw his music topping the charts and even being featured in several motion pictures, which led to McCarver acting in several western films.

Cody's life began to spiral out of control. "I was headed for death," says Cody. "I knew something had to change…so I went to church." Cody searched and found joy in his renewed relationship with God. "God let me know that He never left me and He was with me the entire time."

Today, Cody shares his story anywhere and everywhere he can — and there's no signs of slowing down. In fact, Cody's just getting started!
