Kody Norris - Kody was born and still lives in Mountain City TN. This area is/was a hot bed of musicians. Kody grew up listening to the Stanley Brothers music and has fulfilled his dream by performing with Ralph Stanley in 2005 and 2006 quite a number of times. Kody now has his own band :"Kody Norris and the Watauga Mountain Boys. "They are now booking in twenty states. This is not bad for a nineteen year old young man! His newest CD has just been released. It is titled "In Despair"--with Tom Isaacs and The Watauga Mountain Boys Kody is one of the most pleasant, well -raised fellows any where. He is a genuine all around good young man. It's always a delight to see Kody enter the door at the Smyth County Jam. Every one is assured of a solid performance when he takes the stage.
