Having started cutting his TEETH on the Houston music scene in 1998, Cody has had the luxury of surrounding HIMSELF WITH GREAT musicians and friends. From July of ‘98 Cody and his band Lost Cause made the east Texas Honky-tonks, bringing back the lost tunes of Merle Haggard, WAYLON JENNIINGS, and occasionally sliding in their original material as well. Having been writing and producing his own work for the past several years, It was time that Cody INTRODUCED his first album “Long ROAD Ahead”. IT had those same fans eating up his vivacious blend of ROCKING guitar, banjo, along with comical and sometimes extreme country LYRICS. With this antiquated yet innovative SOUND, Cody made his way across the air ways into the stereos of many people across this great state of Texas. He was HAND selected as one of Texas’ Most Wanted bands by the CBS-affiliate radio station 95.7 KIKK in HOUSTON for “Long Road Ahead’s” single “Road Trip from Hell.” After three years of running WITH his band, Lost Cause lost its luster. Each of the guys went their separate ways. This was a LOW POINT in CODY’S CAREER and little was seen for opportunity beyond the way of the horizon. However, in College Station Texas of ’02 at the famous NORTH by Northgate Festival, a culmination of two different worlds collided. Cody met the BOYS from F.co AND the boys from F.co met Cody. The blend of their UNIQUIE songs, sound and Cody’s WICKED guitar was the breed for utter success. Their second album “ANY OTHER Way” was released with collaboration of Buzzkill Records in January of ’04. With the help of The Company artist management Cody with F.co shared the stage with the Red ROCKER, Sammy Hagar along with the likes of Toby Keith, Jerry Cantrell and many other incredible artists. The guys were burning up the highways and airways alike. It was DALLAS one night, Austin the next, and then to Glenn Rose with PAT Green and Max Stalling, you could not touch it . What's more the band also perked the ears of Warner Brothers Nashville Publishing Firm, Warner-Chappell, and was named in the top 3 of new Texas Country BANDS by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammy Awards). They also performed for a national TV show, Food Nation with Bobby FLAY on the Food Network. This musical experience opened a lot of avenues for CODY and gave him more STORIES to write about. This fueled his desires to go at it again, not just as a co-songwriter and guitar player, but as his own entity. F.co had been put on hold with the BIRTH of three of the guy’s babies (including Cody’s) and understandingly career focus’ CHANGED for some. This in Cody’s mind provoked the release of his second album “Days and nights” (another Buzzkill Records masterpiece), which was highly anticipated by Cody Kouba fans and now F.co fans alike. In the PROCESS of this break-down and rebuild there was a spawn of growth in ticket sales and in record sales as WELL. “The Long Road Ahead” had finally come FULL circle.
