Nick Kody

"Infectious, well done but still tender, songs--stuffed to the gills with vintage riffage--are emblematic of Nick Kody's brand of deep-fried, American rock and roll goodness! Kody has an unmistakable affinity and abundant natural gifts for all things blues and real-deal classic rock that you'd swear he's thrice his age. Yet, Kody somehow manages to conjure up fresh perspective and renewed vitality to the tried and true--fueled in large measure by his equally tuneful as soulful vocals and smooth, late-sixties guitar delivery. That geezers and hipsters alike will be singing along with catchy-a** chorus after catchy-a** chorus is a good thing. If you were fed the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and CCR as a child, you'll be wanting a 'nother few rounds of what Nick Kody is proudly serving! Check him out live and on upcoming releases!" ~ Nelson Starr

Dense guitar riffs steeped in the core elements of rock and the blues, combined with songwriting shaped by the experiences of everyday people, defines the music of Nick Kody. The values of country living are the base of Nick's character, having been born and raised in the beautiful hills of Cattaraugus County (WNY), just north of the Allegheny Mountains. Influenced by guitar greats such as Rory Gallagher and Steve Gaines, Nick Kody understands the power within the soul of the electric guitar, and that when accessed, brings the spirit of the music to a higher level.
The late, great Levon Helm and his brethren of "The Band" are perhaps Nick’s largest influence and are the example that Nick attempts to embody today; hard work, high-caliber musicianship, good friends and great times. You’ll hear all of that and more when Nick Kody takes the stage with his friends and family, The Creek Road Band.
