ANNOUNCES NEW EP SOUTHERN NOISE
OUT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4
NASHVILLE, TN — Country-rock artist Cody Weaver grew up on an orange grove and the life lessons learned during that upbringing became the catalyst for writing the rollicking tune “Dad’s Old Ford,” out today, November 13. Submerged in traditional country production and storytelling, “Dad’s Old Ford” marks the lead single from Weaver’s forthcoming five-song Southern Noise EP that’s set for release on Friday, December 4.
“Growing up on an orange grove in Buckingham Florida we didn’t have much but that old truck meant so much to me,” explains Weaver about “Dad’s Old Ford.” “The song’s message is about taking pride in what you do have and being content when it seems everyone else just wants more.”

Following 2019’s “Burn,” Weaver’s single that hit number one on KB Country Radio in Canada, comes the new five-track collection. “It’s the first compilation of songs that I’ve put together, which is really cool to see come to life. Listening to all of these songs in order takes you on a journey through all kinds of emotions.” Southern Noise was written and arranged by Weaver while providing his band members the opportunity to create their own additions. “These songs stand out to me because they have a familiar traditional country sound but all of me and the band’s influences are clearly evident, such as rock, metal, blues and funk.”
A proud fourth generation Floridian, Weaver credits his musical style to being immersed in the sounds of American music throughout his life in the south. Undeniable music rooted in blues, bluegrass, traditional country and rock n’ roll. “I’ve grown up on country music! My dad is big into bluegrass and classic country, so my love for this music started very early.” Weaver’s unmistakable sound, unwavering passion, dedication, and do-it-yourself work ethic sets him apart from other country music artists and is evident on Southern Noise.
