Cody Parks and the Dirty South Hitting The Road With Steel Panther

(Facci) Country metal band Cody Parks and the Dirty South are thrilled to announce their new tour as support to Steel Panther. Cody Parks and The Dirty South aren't your typical Nashville country band. Founded in 2019 by frontman and songwriter Cody Parks, the band united around his vision of blending his Southern roots with a hard hitting, heavy metal sound. The result? A genre all their own: Country Metal - best described as "Def Leppard on cornbread."

Drawing inspiration from legends like Motley Crue, Ratt, and Pantera... Cody Parks and The Dirty South inject heavy riffs and explosive breakdowns into country music, transforming Nashville's Music Row into a Sunset Strip-worthy phenomenon. Their 2023 EP, Smothered & Covered, turned heads with singles climbing to #2 and #7 on iTunes, earning them a spot in the social media spotlight and growing their Spotify listener base to over 190,000 monthly fans.

With a powerful new team behind them and a growing legion of fans, the band is gearing up for an all-out assault in 2026, hitting the road to deliver their high-octane sound to cities across the nation. Crank it up... the era of Country Metal has officially begun.
