When you see this band dressed in their custom-made embroidered and rhinestone-studded clothing, you know that they mean to entertain! No wonder The Kody Norris Show took home seven SPBGMA awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year. The band tips a hat to Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, the Grand Ole Oprey, and a bit of vaudeville. You will get top notch picking and singing along with humor and flash. Kody Norris is joined by his wife and fiddler, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, Josiah Tyree on banjo, and Charlie Lowman on the bass. This show is family-friendly, fun, and good music!
