The List for Friday, March 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Another Country artist to keep an eye on is Cody Johnson, Ex-Rodeo star, Cowboy who likes to write songs about his personal life…but he also knows what NOT to write songs about. “You don’t wanna write down EVERYTHING, there’s been times where, if you’re married out there and you listen I don’t care how much you love your spouse or how long you’ve been together. You’re going to have fights, and sometimes for an artist you channel those things and write them down. But sometimes it’s a little to personal.” Cody Johnson’s tour finds him coming thru Kix Country May 18th at the Xtream Arena in Coralville
