Cody Canada was the lead singer/songwriter of the Oklahoma- based rock-country band Cross Canadian Ragweed from their inception in 1998 to their dissolution in 2010. In that time they sold over a million albums.
Cody Canada has returned to vintage Cross Canadian form, seizing the opportunity to take the lead of his four-piece band, The Departed, with a newly energized inspiration to get back to his roots. The time he spent pursuing new creative paths with the Departed was a blessing, allowing him time to develop a rejuvenated appreciation for Ragweed’s legendary body of work and the connections it made with fans.

“Canada is back...a bigger, bolder, boomier version of the sound [he’s] been creating for roughly two decades.”
Rolling Stone Country

“Hippielovepunk by Cody Canada and the Departed is at-out-stand-up-full-tilt-badass- realass-coolass-unmatchedass rock and roll.” Ray Wylie Hubbard
