Outside of the industrial ruins of early 20th century boom towns where

steel mills and coal mines thrived, and the rails were king, Cody Tyler is forging his own path through the foothills of

Appalachia. With a long history that dates back to the colonial era, Cody

Tyler’s family has hunted the hard timbers, tilled the fields, worked in the

mines, and sweated in the steel mills of Pennsylvania for generations.

Cody’s father, a third-generation trucker, inspired Cody’s love of country

music and hunger for the open road from a young age. You might even

say it was bred into him. At just 25 years old, his musical journey has

barely begun, but his yearning to travel the open road on a song has

already taken him all over the United States as a solo artist.

Cody may be from above the Mason-Dixon line, but they

have forged a country and honky tonk sound of their own that tips its hat

to the blue collar men and women of the Keystone State’s Appalachian

heartland.

In 2020, the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame nominated Cody

Tyler & Gypsy Convoy for two Central Pennsylvania Music Awards for Best

Male Vocalist and Best Country Act. Cody was also a Top 150 vocalist for

Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice, reaching the executive producer callback

auditions in Los Angeles. In 2019, the band were the runner-up in the

Tumbleweed Country Music Festival Rising Star Talent Search, which

featured over 300 country music artists from the United States and Canada. The band was also a Top-3 finalist at the 2018 I-105 WIOV Showdown in the Park.

Currently, Cody Tyler is hard at work on his second full length album which encompasses the sound he describes as "Black Dirt Country." Being from Pennsylvania where the fertile farmland tilled by the Amish for centuries meets the rocky soil of the Appalachians, the dirt there is far from red.
