“It's really helped a ton in the sense that we get to reach people who don't normally know our music. At least once a night at a show someone will come up to the merch table after the show and say they've never heard of me but they saw me on Troubadour, TX, and it reminds me that I'm not Elvis and anything I can do to get my name out there is beneficial in every way.” PeopleKnowsWayI CanShowsNightNamesCan DoSawsHeardTablesCome UpBeneficialTroubadours Author:Cody Johnson
“Obviously the way that I talk and the way that I dress all has to do with the way that I was raised. As far as the drive, when I was 18 or 21 years old, everything I did was because I wanted to go play music simply because that's what I wanted to do.” WayYearsPlayWantedDressesRaised Author:Cody Johnson
“I think that no matter what you do, whether you rodeo, whether you work in an office, you work in the oilfield or you play music for a living, eventually if you do enough of it, the devil in the back of your head tries to turn it into work. You have to find new ways to make it new and make it exciting to keep that drive there.” IfsThinkingWayTryingMatterEnoughPlayTurnsOfficeDevilExcitingNo Matter WhatNew WaysRodeo Author:Cody Johnson
“As far as the persona, I'm true to myself. Not because I'm arrogant, but I'm true to myself because I believe that you have to stand for something. When you start sacrificing that, even if it's just a line in a song or something you say on the mic at a show, or the way you treat someone when you see them out in public, that all reflects on who you are.” IfsWayBelieveShowsSongI BelieveLinesSacrificeTreatsWho You AreArrogantPersonaMicsStand For SomethingTrue To Myself Author:Cody Johnson
“In the back of my mind, I want it to do well, but at the end of the day I literally just got down on my knees and prayed - "However you want this thing to go lord, let it go that way." Low and behold, it did what it did and it's doing what it's doing.
