On stage
The documented stage experience
formed in 2019 by Cody Parks, Cody Parks and The Dirty South brings a fresh twist to country music by weaving in heavy guitar tones, driving riffs, and a rebellious 80s/90s metal aesthetic. Often described as "Country Metal" — a bar-raising blend that critics call "Def Leppard on cornbread" — this project is built on bold storytelling, memorable hooks, and high-energy live performances.
