The six foot, baby faced, cool, handsome, deep baritone singer that commands attention when he walks into a room almost never got the chamce to sing a note or strum a chord. It’s a miracle that Trey Gauthreaux can stand before an audience and sing at all. The band’s highly entertaining and energetic live shows has gotten them repeat invitations to play at legendary festivals such as Sturgis Bike Week, Lone Star Rally, Daytona Bike Week, Mud Nationals, Tuff Hedeman Rodeos, and others. His sophomore release, Sons of the South climbed to #1 on the Billboard’s Heat Seeker chart for the Southeast in weeks and has gained the band opening slots, allowing him to share the stage with some of country music’s best: David Allan Coe, Brantley Gilbert, Neal McCoy, Randy Rogers, Colt Ford, Travis Tritt, Kevin Fowler, Pat Green, Shooter Jennings, Randy Houser, Justin Moore, Whiskey Myers, Jason Boland and others. “There’s no better feeling than knowing that folks all around are the country are requesting one of my songs,” Cody comments on his radio adds. Their first single, “Buck Wild” climbed Nashville’s Music Row charts and is still played regularly on country music radio – it’s been added to 32 stations recently and is still continuing to gain momentum. And, DJs and radio have embraced their sound and dubbed Cody and the Bayou Outlaws’ music as “much needed rough and rowdy country for the 21st century”.Ĭody’s debut release, Gitcha’ Country On shot up the Billboard charts to # 7 on the Billboard Country Music Heat Seeker chart and was nominated for two Grammy awards. Critics and fans alike are taking notice and welcoming the good ole’ sounds of songs reminiscent of Hank Williams (1, 2, and 3), Waylon Jennings, Jamey Johnson, Randy Travis and Merle Haggard. Cody Cooke and the Bayou Outlaws are one of the few, authentic, electrifying home-grown Louisiana flavored country bands who put the “good time” back into live country music.
