The soft sister harmonies of the Cody Sisters remind us of a simpler, slower time. Seeing the Cody Sisters Band is an experience. These young women and their bass player dad fuse so many different influences, it’s often difficult to define them. They blend old-time, swing, Gypsy jazz, jazz, folk, and modern bluegrass together in a completely unique sound.
Megan Cody (vocals, guitar, mandolin) has spent her entire life with a guitar or a mandolin in her hand and a microphone at her lips. With her celebrated and award-winning guitar playing, she has drawn attention of many, including Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. She won first place at the New Mexico Flatpicking competition for 2016. People often compare her to a young Courtney Hartman or Molly Tuttle.
When she’s not on stage, Maddie Cody (songwriter, vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin) is most comfortable curled up on the couch with a pencil and a pad of paper to record her lyrics, poetry, and stories. She’ll tell you that she can’t remember when she couldn’t play an instrument, and her lightning-fast fingers will prove it.
Steve Cody (bass, songwriter) has been immersed in music his whole life, playing the piano, guitar, mandolin, banjo, great highland bagpipes, penny whistle, and of course, upright bass fiddle. When the Cody Sisters project came around, it was only natural that he would focus on the upright for the rest of this life. “All I wanted to do was play music with my kids. As an upright bass player, it’s often difficult to find an avenue that provides the appropriate challenge in my musical realm. I didn’t expect this amazing thing to happen. The girls took to it in a way that was almost intoxicating to watch. It seemed like every year they were producing new and interesting things to listen to. I just buckled up and went along for the ride. Really, all I wanted to do was play music with my kids after dinner or on the weekends. I got lucky in a way that I couldn’t imagine.”
