The band started when friends Cody Cannon and Cody Tate began playing guitar together, inspired by the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, and many other southern rock and country artists.After being joined by friend John Jeffers, they began calling themselves Lucky Southern.After playing together for a while, the three decided to start a more serious band.They enlisted friend Jeff Hogg to play drums, and asked Cannon's cousin Gary Brown to play bass (although he did not know how to play the instrument at the time).They began playing shows around their hometown and native state of Texas, slowly starting to build a following on the Texas/Red Dirt scene. In 2018, the band was featured in four episodes of the Kevin Costner Paramount Network series Yellowstone.Shortly afterwards, the band's three available albums moved into the top 10 iTunes country chart.Their most recent album, Mud, reached #1 on the charts, and its song "Stone" reached #9 in all genres.
