LLR REWIND #5 features an excerpt from episode 4 of Lightnin' Licks Radio where Deon and special guest Cody discuss individuals in their lives who have served as musical influencers, those beautiful souls responsible for shaping their musical tastes. For Cody, a surprising number of said influencers all entered his life during his first abbreviated stint as a student at Northern Michigan University. Cody has since returned to the university and completed his studies, but the sonic impact made by those special friends remains intact.

If you aren’t streaming on Spotify, you can view the video here on YouTube. Check out Cody’s musical projects YUM, Ampersand Castles, Yard Waste, and the kick ass band he most recently formed with friends at NMU, Liquid Mike on bandcamp. Much of the supplemental artwork / photos featured in the video were created by Cody as well. Very little to nothing was used with permission. Better to ask forgiveness.
