(2911) The multi-SPBGMA Award-winning and International Bluegrass Music Association-nominated group, The Kody Norris Show, is thrilled to announce the release of the music video for their current single, "The Auctioneer," available today. Released through Rebel Records, this vibrant take on Leroy Van Dyke's iconic hit will captivate fans for generations.
With their trademark energy and style, The Kody Norris Show delivers a fresh interpretation while honoring the timeless essence of the original and introducing a new generation to this classic. "The Auctioneer" music video made its digital debut today on Bluegrass Today and airs today on television via The Heartland Network 5:30 PM ET. Fans can also stream it on watchheartlandtv.com and the It's Real Good TV app!
"This video is for the books! We shot this music video back in July at mine and Mary Rachel's home in Mountain City, Tennessee during our annual Backyard Breakdown," shares Kody Norris. "With fans coming in from all over the world, we decided to make this year's event just a little extra special! Our built-in crowd doubled as the auction crowd that you will see in the video. We even included several of the other band members as well who were at the event. Our nephew, Kendal played the young auctioneer, the middle-aged auctioneer is played by Cutter Singleton from Cutter & Cash and the Kentucky Grass along with Mary Rachel's friend, Jamie who starred in "I Call Her Sunshine." This year the rain decided to make its appearance, which changed many of the production plans. Instead of the music performance being filmed outside the crew decided to use our living room which is pretty much staged the way you see it year round! We are so proud of this fun take on an old classic and know you are going to enjoy it too!"
The Kody Norris Show was recently nominated for two IBMA awards and has been honored with a new exhibit at The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky highlighting their music and career from throughout the years. The new exhibit, Rhinestone Revival: The Kody Norris Show, features several of the band's brightly colored suits with intricate rhinestones and embroidery, cowboy boots, hats, instruments, and awards.
Earlier this year, the band also brought home seven trophies from SPBGMA for Entertainer of the Year, Instrumental Group of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Band (Overall) of the Year. Adding to the wins, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris was named Fiddle Performer of the Year, and Josiah Tyree won Banjo Performer of the Year.
Of the twelve songs included on The Kody Norris Show's latest album, Rhinestone Revival, four are penned by frontman Kody Norris: "Baltimore I'm Leaving," "Please Tell Me Why," "Gotta Get My Baby Back," and "Fiddler's Rock." The group has also released "Mountain Rosalie," I Call Her Sunshine," and "Let All The Girls Know You're A Cowboy" with an overwhelming response from their devoted fans. They are excited to be back in the studio working on new music for every fan!
