Cody Parks And The Dirty South
2025-08-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Kickstands, 13014 Pleasant Valley Rd, Sturgis, 57785, United States

Cody Parks and The Dirty South aren’t your typical Nashvilly country act. Singer/songwriter Cody Parks always knew his vision could become a reality with the right players who shared his passion. Then in 2019, Cody Parks and The Dirty South was formed. They can better be described as “Def Leppard on cornbread,” blending their country roots with their love for 80’s and 90’s metal… coining their own genre, “Country Metal.” Influenced by the likes of Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Pantera, the Dirty South’s heavy hitting riffs and breakdowns bring an element to country music that turns Nashville’s Music Row into L.A.’s Sunset Strip! Their covers EP titled, “Smothered & Covered,” had singles chart at #2 and #7 on iTunes for multiple weeks. Be on the lookout for their new EP, “Country Metal, Vol. 1, “and find them “plowin’ through” a city near you in 2025. Now… CRANK UP THE COUNTRY METAL!

Gunshine
2025-08-01 21:00 - 22:30 | Kickstands, 13014 Pleasant Valley Rd, Sturgis, 57785, United States

Hailing from the panhandle of Florida, Gunshine offers a breath of fresh air to the rock scene. A musical love child conceived during the pandemic, Gunshine was birthed by Daytona Beach native and New Years Day ax man Austin Ingerman, who, as a result of the world shutting down, suddenly found himself off the road and eager to carry out his vision of forming a fresh, edgy rock n’ roll band. The vision was to create songs that had attitude, were melodic/catchy, and most importantly written very organically. “I’ll hear vocal melodies and guitar riffs in my head, and let things flow very naturally and artistically. We just write what comes out, and never try to sound a certain way or let external factors influence our writing in any way” says Ingerman.
Drummer James Renshaw was the first to join Ingerman and they quickly began working on songs that would comprise Gunshine’s debut album. After an exhaustive search, Jordan Benson, distant cousin to Elvis Presley, became the band’s singer and added a dose of charisma and showmanship that has become a staple of Gunshine’s live shows. Gunshine recorded their debut album in Las Vegas with producer/engineer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob, Prong) who is an integral part of the sonic translation of the band. The new EP, due out in 2023, was also mixed/mastered by Chris. It was tracked at “The Hideout” in Vegas, where tons of hit records were made.
Together, this group lays down face-melting guitar solos, catchy riffs, soaring vocals and a lethal rhythm section which all come together to create a sonic boom harkening back to a time when music was raw, blisteringly energetic, and loud. In a world where it is commonplace to play it safe, Gunshine throws the rule book out and plays it straight from the heart, no tricks, no frills, no BS. This is rock-n-roll, the kind you’ve been missing.

Full-hearted, free-spirited, and irresistibly genuine, Erin Viancourt’s take on country music is both timeless and entirely attuned to the chaos of modern life. On her debut album Won’t Die This Way, the Cleveland-bred singer/songwriter/ guitarist brings her lived-in storytelling to a gritty but gorgeously detailed batch of songs, encompassing everything from Americana to Western swing to classic outlaw country. Rooted in the warm and radiant vocal presence she’s shown onstage in touring arenas with Cody Jinks (who recently made Viancourt the first signing to his Late August Records), Won’t Die This Way ultimately reveals her rare capacity to soothe the soul and leave the listener newly empowered to live each day to the absolute fullest.
