2017 NAMA (Native American Music Awards) “Group of the Year”  

"The Cody Blackbird Band is a big deal - they’ve shared the bill with big names like Michael Franti, Arlo Guthrie, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Rickey Medlocke, Buffy St. Marie, Peter Paul and Mary’s Peter Yarrow, Nahko Bear, Xavier Rudd, and Big Mountain, to name a few." Anchorage Press

 "No mere novelty act, this outfit fuses traditional Native-American flute music with blues, heartland rock, and a multi-culti jam-band sensibility, creating a wholly original and wholly American rock form." Scruffy City Press

Spring 2018 The Cody Blackbird Band will be releasing their upcoming album “Time” Produced by Kenny Lee Lewis of the Steve Miller Band.
