The talented group, made up of frontman Kody Norris, Josiah Tyree, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, and Charlie Lowman, finds a growing legion of fans craving the comfort from its retro look. They also crave dynamic instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics—all of which can be heard throughout its epic new album, Rhinestone Revival.

“There is a whole chapter of country music that's just kind of faded away,” The Kody Norris Show’s frontman once said. “I believe The Kody Norris Show has been instrumental in bringing back some of that nostalgia and some of that classic look that country music and bluegrass music used to have.”

Adkins's raw and powerful vocals are a true highlight of their live shows, whether they are performing his original tunes like "Pike County Jail," or popular covers like "Bad Moon Rising" or "I Can Only Imagine." Their ability to connect with the audience through their versatile music and Adkins's emotional vocal delivery consistently bring audiences to their feet.
