DEBUTS AT CMA FEST TODAY; FOLLOWED BY PERFORMANCE AT THE RYMAN & BMI BLOCK PARTY
SUPERSTAR HARDY GIVES LOHDEN’S “BUCKLE UP” A SHOUTOUT: “SO WELL WRITTEN”
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today, DeVille Records’ artist-writer Cody Lohden releases slow-burning new song “Camels In The Console.” Gaining traction for his mix of heart and hooks, he recently earned praise from hitmaker HARDY who called Lohden’s “Buckle Up,” “so well written,” on an episode of Broken Record Podcast.
“Stoked to get ‘Camels In The Console’ out to the world,” shares Lohden. “Sort of a new lane for me and reflects some of my outside influences. I get to show off a little bit vocally.”
Written by Lohden alongside Rian Ball, Nick Boyd and Brock Phillips, “Camels In The Console” chronicles the cycle of secrecy and closed-door exchanges with an on-again, off-again romance:
Yeah she always pulls me in
To her lips
When she wants
A fix again
Somewhere nobody can see
We’re on fire for a night
Then ashes tomorrow
Like I’m some kinda vice
She hides in her Bronco
Like Camels in the console
The former firefighter / paramedic born and raised in Garfield, Kentucky is on a winning streak of resonating singles. Penning songs about small-town living, Lohden recently dropped “Go Round” and summer anthem “Drinks Can Drink,” that Country Central called “extremely catchy.”
Today, Lohden will make his CMA Fest debut on the Good Molecules Reverb stage followed by a performance at the Ryman Auditorium & BMI Block Party. He will conclude the weekend with a Whiskey Jam set at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row tomorrow. Stay up to date with Cody Lohden here.
ABOUT CODY LOHDEN
A vocal powerhouse with both the pipes and penmanship of an authentic country hero, Cody Lohden is a singer-songwriter signed to ERN’s Cadillac Music / DeVille Records, primed for a creative breakout. The former firefighter / paramedic spent the last few years on a unique story of self-styled success and now answers the call of a new artistic chapter. Raised in Garfield, Kentucky, Lohden got his first guitar at 12 and quickly put it to use, drawn to the simplicity of country craftsmen like Keith Whitley and Don Williams, and the greasy grit of rockers like Bob Seger. He joined the school choir but was too shy to sing solo… until Lohden’s dad entered him in a local singing competition, which he won. Performing for a crowd of 800, his stage fright was replaced by a passion for the stage, and Lohden went on to make monthly trips to Nashville, learning to write songs with a lived-in mix of heart and hooks. Lohden was releasing music independently while living on a buddy’s couch for six months when one of his TikTok videos went viral, connecting the raw talent with hitmaker ERNEST. Lohden signed a publishing deal with ERN’s Cadillac Music four months before making the move to Nashville, and has since toured in support of Bailey Zimmerman, Walker Hayes and ERNEST, while co-writing cuts for ERNEST, Zimmerman, Austin Snell and others.
