Cody Parks and The Dirty South aren't your typical Nashville country act. Singer/songwriter Cody Parks always knew his vision could become a reality with the right players who shared his passion. Then in 2019, Cody Parks and The Dirty South was formed. They can better be described as "Def Leppard on cornbread," blending their country roots with their love for 80's and 90's metal... coining their own genre, "Country Metal." Influenced by the likes of Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Pantera, the Dirty South's heavy hitting riffs and breakdowns bring an element to country music that turns Nashville's Music Row into L.A.’s Sunset Strip! Their unique mashup, “Thunder Cash ‘69,” from their 2023 covers EP titled, "Smothered & Covered,"  has been a viral sensation on many occasions, topping the iTunes Rock chart in three different countries, and landing at #3 on Billboard’s Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Check out their latest EP, "Country Metal, Vol. 1," and find them "plowin' through" a city near you in 2026. Now... CRANK UP THE COUNTRY METAL!
