Cody Bondra

Born in New Hartford Connecticut, Cody Bondra grew up surrounded by country, Rock and R&B music. His earliest concerts experiences consisted of Charlie Daniels, Poison, Motley Crue and other electric live acts. But it would be years before he took the stage himself.



Cody first picked up the guitar at 21 and wrote his first songs not too far after. He released his first EP “Nothin’ Wrong” (2018) while playing in local cover bands and tribute acts. Cody released 2 more singles in 2019. The poppy upbeat (“In Luck”) and the reflective heart worn ballad (“Worth Your Time”). Both received airplay on Sirius XM radio and FM radio leading to the 2019 (“Long Roads & Short Stories Tour”) The tour saw Cody playing small halls, outdoor venues, festivals and rooms along the East Coast as a solo act and with his band “The Contraband” as well as opening for bands such as LANCO, Colt Ford and Co Headlining a fall festival with The Spin Doctors.



2021 brought new singles (“Something in The Night” & "Made With You") as well as socially distanced tour and festival dates. 2022 will also see Cody’s first full length album release from Kingship Recording CO.
