Kody West w/ Special Guest (TBA)
November 13 - 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Texas country grit meets rock-and-roll energy. Kody West brings his band to The Bend Theater on Friday, November 13 — and this is a show you’ll want to see up close.
Who Is Kody West?
Kody West grew up in Denton, Texas, listening to country legends like Johnny Cash. He picked up a guitar at nine years old and mostly taught himself to play. His first gigs weren’t fancy. He played taco shops and any bar with a patio that would give him a couple of hours.
Then he did something smart. He took a job as tour manager for Texas artist Dalton Domino. He learned the music business from the inside — booking shows, loading gear, and watching how it’s done. Soon he was opening the shows himself. In 2016, he released his first EP, Higher Ground, and fans took notice fast.
His 2017 debut album, Green, put him on the map alongside Texas country names like Koe Wetzel and Flatland Cavalry. Since then, he’s released the albums Overgrown and Circles, recorded a live album at the world-famous Billy Bob’s Texas, and shared stages with Whiskey Myers, Koe Wetzel, and Charlie Robison. He and his band have played more than 400 shows across the country, including plenty of sold-out rooms.
His sound mixes classic country storytelling with the crunch of late-’90s rock. One boot in the red dirt, the other on a fuzz pedal. His songs rack up millions of streams because they feel real — songs about hard work, heartbreak, and hanging on.
Hear the New Single: “Oxygen”
Kody’s new single “Oxygen” is out now, and it shows exactly where his sound is headed — big hooks, raw vocals, and lyrics that hit home. Watch the official music video below, then picture hearing it live from just a few feet away.

Two Fan Favorites You’ll Hear Live
“Green”
The title track from his debut album. Fans know it by its chorus — “together but alone” — and they sing that line back at him at every show. It’s the song that turned listeners into a fan community.

“Million Miles”
Dark, driving, and built for a live crowd. “Million Miles” is one of his most-streamed songs and a highlight of every show.

Why You Should Be There
Kody West built his career on live shows. He’s played arenas and festival stages, but a 360-seat room is where this music hits hardest. Every seat at The Bend is close to the stage. You’ll feel the drums in your chest and catch every word.
He’s also known as one of the most fan-friendly artists in Texas music. He’s the kind of performer who sticks around after the show to shake hands and say thanks. This is your chance to catch a rising star in an intimate room — before the venues get bigger and the tickets get harder to grab.
