Outside of the industrial ruins of early 20th century boom towns where
steel mills and coal mines thrived, and the rails were king, Cody Tyler &
Gypsy Convoy are forging their own path through the foothills of
Appalachia. With a long history that dates back to the colonial era, Cody
Tyler’s family has hunted the hard timbers, tilled the fields, worked in the
mines, and sweated in the steel mills of Pennsylvania for generations.
Cody’s father, a third-generation trucker, inspired Cody’s love of country
music and hunger for the open road from a young age. You might even
say it was bred into him. At just 25 years old, his musical journey has
barely begun, but his yearning to travel the open road on a song has
already taken him all over the United States as a solo artist. Now is the
time to get Gypsy Convoy rolling, too.

Cody and the Convoy may be from above the Mason-Dixon line, but they
have forged a country and honky tonk sound of their own that tips its hat
to the blue collar men and women of the Keystone State’s Appalachian
heartland. Gypsy Convoy, are a collection of battle-tested musicians that
have collectively earned their stripes sweating it out in bars and honky
tonks across the state for decades.

In 2020, the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame nominated Cody
Tyler & Gypsy Convoy for two Central Pennsylvania Music Awards for Best
Male Vocalist and Best Country Act. Cody was also a Top 150 vocalist for
Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice, reaching the executive producer callback
auditions in Los Angeles. In 2019, the band were the runner-up in the
Tumbleweed Country Music Festival Rising Star Talent Search, which
featured over 300 country music artists from the United States and Canada. The band was also a Top-3 finalist at the 2018 I-105 WIOV Showdown in the Park.

Currently, Cody Tyler & Gypsy Convoy are hard at work on their first EP which encompasses the sound Cody describes as "Black Dirt Country." Because the band is from Pennsylvania where the fertile farmland tilled by the Amish for centuries meets the rocky soil of the Appalachians, the dirt there is far from red. Cody opines that the sound of the band "ain't much different, either." All five tracks have a fresh sound and even added verses that breathe new life and emotion with the help of the band.
