Cody Lee Meece & The Poor Excuses

Cody Lee Meece is one-of-a-kind.  Any attempted label will miss the mark,  barring one… ORIGINAL.  A singer-songwriter from Eubank, Kentucky, with an incredible self-taught mastery of the guitar, Cody is both a soulful creator and a dynamic entertainer.  His influences run wide and deep, from Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix to Roger Miller and Waylon Jennings - and all points in between.  His stage presence is an eclectic mixture of endearing aphorisms and banter with his fans, bone-chilling vulnerability, and unapologetic, 10-foot-tall-and-bullet-proof honky tonk rock… or, as he calls it “Raunchy Tonk!"  His band The Poor Excuses is a tour de force ensemble of accomplished and award-winning master musicians - Daniel Stroud on bass, Logan Henry on pedal steel guitar, and Severn Edmondson on percussion.  

Jake Stringer

Hailing from the Ozark  Mountains of southern Missouri, Jake Stringer’s writing is a direct reflection of everything that surrounds him, and all the experiences along the way. After spending most of his 20’s behind the drums with artists such as Onward, Etc., David Allan Coe, Mark Chapman, and countless others, Stringer decided it was time to take the ideas in his head and put them to work. He bought a guitar, learned a few chords, and put the pen to paper. Before too long, Better Than Nothin’ was born.
