Cody Belew Extends Run of Shows at Lipstick Lounge with Four New Dates Starting May 21st
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 29, 2022) — Following four packed shows at Nashville's Lipstick Lounge, including a March 19 EP release show celebrating his national debut project, Cody Belew (Visionary Media Group) has extended his run of shows at the legendary venue with four new dates that will kick off May 21st, continuing June 18th, July 16th, and August 20th — all Saturdays. Tickets are on sale now and available HERE.
"Playing the Lipstick Lounge is a joy unto itself — an energy and vibe uniquely singular to this East Nashville institution," says Cody, an influential member of Nashville's musical and LGBTQIA+ communities, whose rollicking live shows showcase both his music and unique custom fashion. "The crowds we've assembled have reminded me of the value of good neighbors and of the power that live music has to uplift and unify. I've found a stride that I plan to refine as we extend this run of shows through the summer months. I'm excited to preview new songs as I gear up to get back into the studio to record another record."
"And I'm afraid I've created a runaway train with my custom stage looks," he adds. "As long as my sewing machine can take it, I'll be flaunting a new frock for each show! I've so enjoyed meeting all the new fans of my work, and I can't wait for the band to play me in on May 21st!"
The extended run of shows and five-track Cody Belew EP (which has received editorial playlisting across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music) continue the momentum generated by a recent appearance and performance on the Netflix series "Coming Out Colton," as well as a string of releases including his latest single “Rodeo," a "tender folk ballad" (Country Queer) comparing the "crazy ride" of heartache and lost love to the rodeo.
About Cody Belew:
Born and raised in rural Arkansas, singer/songwriter Cody Belew spent his childhood fishing, building forts, riding horses, and catching lightning bugs in mason jars. His love of the South is in his blood, and his music reflects the gritty, soulful textures that separate him from the rest of the pack in today’s country landscape. While Cody reminisces about the smells of hot biscuits on his mama’s stove, the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs in the fields, and the rough textures of lumber he worked on with his dad in the family barn, the thing he says speaks to him most is the one-room church in his hometown of Beebe, Arkansas, where he learned to sing when he was just a toddler.
Pursuing a music degree, Cody eventually moved to Nashville, where he made ends meet working with fashion, furniture restoration, and music. It wasn’t long before his vocal and songwriting talents were recognized, earning him an appearance on NBC’s The Voice.
After finishing The Voice as a Top 8 finalist, Cody was asked to open for Delta Rae, Florida Georgia Line, Rascal Flatts, and more, and started writing with GRAMMY Award-winning Deana Carter and Mike Reid, ACM Award winner Tia Sellers, and ascending recording artists like Hailey Whitters, Rick Brantley, and Waylon Payne.
Assembling a mix of candid originals and well-loved classics by artists who inspired him, Cody released his debut EP — the self-titled Cody Belew — via Visionary Media Group on March 18, 2022.
