Rising Star Set To Join Brooks & Dunn for CMT Crossroads 

Celebrates First Sold-Out Show at NYC’s Irving Plaza

 

This week, CoJo Music/Warner Music Nashville recording artist Cody Johnson broke into the Top 10 at U.S. Country Radio with his poignant ballad “On My Way To You.” The milestone adds to a staggering list of recent career-firsts including debut performances at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and NYC’s Irving Plaza which both sold out, a Gillette Stadium date with the legendary George Strait and his first-ever CMA Fest performance as an Ascend Amphitheater headliner on June 8. Johnson began this streak of firsts when he signed an unprecedented co-venture with Warner Music Nashville less than a year ago before his much anticipated album AIN’T NOTHIN’ TO IT arrived at No. 1 on both the Billboard Country Albums chart and iTunes Country Albums Chart.

 

Yet Johnson takes all these firsts in stride with his signature brand of cowboy confidence. Possessing a strong sense self, purpose and perhaps a sense that he is simply meeting his destiny, Johnson’s feet are firmly on the ground. “Thank you to the fans because you’re the reason we get to do what we love for a living,” he said. “My hat’s off to my team at Warner Music Nashville and country radio. Thank you for embracing my brand of country music. It’s a hell of a ride we’re on together, and I’m grateful.”

 

On June 4, Johnson will record CMT Crossroads: Brooks & Dunn And Friends in downtown Nashville. A longtime fan of the history making duo, he often performs their songs during his live shows, which have sold out in over 30 states (many in cities he has never stepped foot in). In fact, Johnson made it a point to pay respect to the duo by singing “Red Dirt Road” during his first ever performance at the historic Ryman Auditorium last month. Fans can catch his bombastic live shows throughout the summer (full list of tour dates here: www.codyjohnsonmusic.com). 

 

ABOUT CODY JOHNSON:
With over 500 million career on-demand streams, Cody Johnson has clearly established a rabid following of loyal fans who thirst for his authentic brand of country music. The aptly named “CoJoNation” regularly pack out shows across the country, with Johnson already selling out over 29 shows so far in 2019 alone. For the second consecutive year, Johnson sold out NRG Stadium at Rodeo Houston with over 74,000 in attendance. Johnson’s first major release on CoJo Music LLC / Warner Music Nashville, AIN’T NOTHIN’ TO IT skyrocketed to #1 on both the Billboard Top Country Albums and All-Genre Digital Sales charts. Also reaching Top 10 on Billboard 200, it became the third-highest pre-added album of all time in the country music genre on Apple Music. The former rodeo bull rider, turned prison guard, turned country star is known for his explosive live shows and electrifying stage presence. Even prior to signing a joint venture with Warner Music Nashville, Johnson’s independently released indie project reached # 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #11 on the Billboard 200 Chart. Johnson has been named one of The Tennessean’s "Nashville’s Next Stars," MusicRow’s "2019 Next Big Thing," iHeartRadio’s "Artists to Watch in 2019," and highlighted on Pandora’s "Artist to Watch 2019" playlist.
